• The design of exceptionally clever mechanical mechanisms
• Ownership of design-related documentation
• Lead and/or assist with FDA regulatory paperwork
• Mechatronics, structural analysis
• Rapid prototyping utilizing Solidworks and 3D printing
• Transitioning designs to manufacturing
• Work within a fast-moving, deeply collaborative, zero-fluff environment with exceptionally high standards.
  
  
  

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in design of medical devices
• Proven experience bringing a complex medical device from concept to product
• Comfort building early-stage, FDA-regulated products where iteration, precision, and a team-first mindset are paramount. You have a track record of delivering results under pressure.
• A personality that balances cordiality, emotional stability, and intellectual sharpness. We work hard, we support each other, and we aim to win.
• Must be a US citizen or Green Card holder. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position.
