• Support hands‑on prototype fabrication, assembly, testing, and troubleshooting throughout the development lifecycle.
• Collaborate closely with suppliers and contract manufacturers to ensure timely delivery and quality execution.
• Support the development and execution of V&V activities, including test protocols, reports, fixtures, and test equipment.
• Contribute technical documentation and engineering support for regulatory submissions (FDA, ISO).

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
• Minimum of 3 years of relevant engineering experience; medical device and/or robotic systems experience strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in CAD and simulation tools (SolidWorks preferred).
• Demonstrated expertise in FEA, GD&T, and tolerance analysis.
• Solid understanding of DFM/DFA, particularly for injection molding and machined components.
• Experience developing and reviewing V&V test protocols and reports.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to perform root cause analysis in a fast‑paced R&D environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for cross‑functional and supplier collaboration.
• Hands‑on experience with prototyping, assembly, and mechanical troubleshooting.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• A mission‑driven environment leading the way in surgical devices.
• A strong company culture that is enforced through the hiring process ensures value alignment and a highly collaborative team.
