• Translate customer and user needs into engineering requirements, design inputs, specifications, and system-level design solutions.
• Develop, prototype, test, and validate complex product designs using advanced engineering methods, computer-aided engineering tools, and design for manufacturability principles.
• Drive investigation and resolution of complex technical and product design issues throughout the development lifecycle.
• Create and review engineering documentation, including technical reports, design history file documentation, engineering drawings, models, and test protocols.
• Partner with Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical, Marketing, and Project Management teams to support successful product development and release activities.
• Mentor engineers on engineering principles, design methodologies, applicable industry standards, and product development processes.
• Contribute to technology scouting, intellectual property development, invention disclosures, patent activities, and continuous improvement initiatives.

What You Will Need

Required:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related Engineering discipline.
• Minimum 6 years of engineering experience in product development, design engineering, or related technical roles.
• Experience developing mechanical or electro-mechanical products within a regulated industry environment.
• Experience creating engineering drawings, 3D models, and applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).

Preferred:

• Experience developing and optimizing complex mechanical or electro-mechanical assemblies using design for manufacturability (DFM) principles.
• Experience utilizing computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools for design analysis and optimization.
• In-depth knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and product development methodologies.
• Experience supporting intellectual property development, including invention disclosures, patents, or trade secrets.
