• Translate high‑level and open‑ended concepts from company leadership into practical engineering solutions.
• Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, detailed drawings, specifications, and engineering documentation.
• Take ownership of mechanical design decisions, including materials, tolerances, component interactions, manufacturability, cost, and reliability.
• Design, build, modify, and test physical prototypes to validate concepts and identify design improvements.
• Lead iterative design processes based on prototype testing, analysis, and performance results.
• Develop and evaluate engineering concepts, feasibility studies, design trade‑offs, and technical approaches.
• Apply engineering analysis and problem‑solving techniques to address mechanical, structural, thermal, fluid, and other technical challenges as applicable.
• Incorporate design‑for‑manufacturing principles and work closely with manufacturing partners and suppliers to develop production‑ready designs.
• Work cross‑functionally with engineering, manufacturing, product, field service, and other teams to resolve technical issues and improve products.
• Lead technical discussions, design reviews, and engineering decisions for assigned projects.
• Identify technical risks and develop mitigation strategies throughout the product development process.
• Support the development and improvement of medical and educational products and technologies.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers and team members.
• Evaluate new technologies, materials, components, and manufacturing methods for potential application to Anatomage products.
• Communicate technical concepts, recommendations, project status, and design decisions clearly through written documentation and presentations.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional experience in mechanical design and product development.
• Strong proficiency with 3D CAD software such asSolidWorksor similar platforms.
• Demonstrated experience taking products from concept through prototype and/or production.
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, materials, tolerances, and manufacturing processes.
• Hands‑on experience building, testing, troubleshooting, and iterating physical prototypes.
• Experience designing mechanical components, assemblies, and mechanisms.
• Ability to work effectively on ambiguous, open‑ended projects with limited initial direction.
• Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to independently manage projects and priorities.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Comfortable working in a fully on‑site, hands‑on engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with rapid prototyping, 3D printing, machining, CNC, or other fabrication methods.
• Experience designing for injection molding, sheet metal, machining, or other production processes.
• Experience with electromechanical products or systems.
• Experience working in a startup or fast‑paced product development environment.
• Experience mentoring or providing technical leadership to other engineers.
