62d•$66,500 - $94,800•Hybrid

About The Position

You will be a core member of multidisciplinary medical-product development teams, responsible for translating product requirements, engineering direction, and design concepts into manufacturable 3D CAD models, assemblies, drawings, and related design documentation. The role supports concept development, product packaging, detailed mechanical design, prototype development and testing, design refinement, and transfer to manufacturing. Work is performed in collaboration with and under the technical direction of mechanical engineers and project technical leads.

Requirements

Associates degree in an engineering field; three years of experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience
Experience in conceptualizing design requirements and being able to transform requirements into a feasible design based on both verbal and visual information under moderate supervision
Proficiency in SolidWorks, including complex parts, assemblies, configurations, and engineering drawings
Familiarity with manufacturing techniques e.g. plastic part design, machined parts, sheet metal, packaging of electronics/cables, etc., for products such as automotive, consumer, and medical devices
Experience applying drawing standards, dimensional tolerancing, revision control, and configuration practices to released product documentation
Strong organizational and time management skills
Strong interpersonal communication and presentation skills (verbal, written, and visual)
Creative problem solving and analytical skills
Motivated team player experienced working in diverse teams
Ability to conduct technical activities with minimal direction
Initiative-taker and mindset for continuous learning

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with PDM or PTC Windchill vaults
Working knowledge of GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
Plastic injection molding and plastic part design
Hands-on general lab skills e.g. building and testing prototypes
Familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing per ASME Y14.5

Responsibilities

Create and maintain SolidWorks parts, assemblies, layouts, engineering drawings, bills of materials, and controlled design records in PDM or PTC Windchill.
Translate requirements, engineering direction, sketches, and concepts into practical, manufacturable mechanical designs.
Develop and document components and assemblies for injection-molded plastics, machined parts, sheet metal, electronic packaging, cable routing, and related mechanical systems.
Apply drafting standards and GD&T to produce clear, inspectable, and configuration-controlled product definition.
Support concept development, packaging and interface studies, tolerance evaluations, manufacturability reviews, and incorporation of approved engineering-analysis results.
Identify and communicate design, assembly, tooling, manufacturing, serviceability, and documentation concerns; participate in design reviews and implement approved changes.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support prototypes, testing, design refinement, quality documentation, schedules, and project-status communication.
