Sr. New Product Development Engineer - Mechanical Design

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design, prototype, troubleshoot, and optimize components and subassemblies of rigid and flexible catheter structures
• Evaluate component and subsystem designs within the context of overall system performance, reliability, manufacturability, and user experience.
• Establish technical direction, driving trade-off decisions, and influencing cross functional teams
• Collaborate cross functionally to understand and drive clarity on clinical, usability, and business needs, and decompose these needs into design requirements.
• Drive rigorous understanding of design risks by learning not just how a design behaves, but why.
• Complete detailed drawings and conduct tolerance analysis statistical best practices appropriately.
• Drive failure investigations using rigorous but efficient experimental plans.
• Prepare protocols/reports/summaries/readouts to capture and communicate design progress and defend / propose design decisions.

Job requirements

• Minimum 6 years of experience in a mechanical design or catheter design role.
• Proficiency using CAD to create, fabricate, and document medical device designs.
• Experience with a range of prototyping and fabrication methods, including 3D printing, extrusion, injection molding, machining, wire EDM, welding, etc.
• Proven ability to apply (or learn where needed, then apply) engineering first principles to understand and achieve quick and reliable solutions to engineering problems.
• Exceptional mechanical aptitude and visual thinking skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, utilizing engineering tools such as finite element analysis, statistics, and experimental designs.
• Proven ability to iterate prototypes and mock-ups rapidly.
• Experience applying GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, and design-for-manufacturing principles.
