Mechanical Engineer II

Hologic • Marlborough, MA

8h

About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer II supports new product development of medical equipment from concept through design transfer. The role applies sound engineering judgment and customer-centered design principles to develop cost-conscious frames, skins, and mechanical interfaces under the direction of project and engineering leads. Work includes assigned mechanical design and project tasks of simple to moderate complexity, with close supervision on unusual or difficult problems and general oversight of other work.

The engineer supports development of product frames and skins, mechanical integration of electromechanical components, and interfaces between reusable consoles and disposable components such as FMS FloPaks. The role creates and updates SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings; applies design-for-manufacturing and assembly principles; conducts engineering research and analysis; and supports prototype and verification testing. The position also prepares and maintains engineering deliverables, participates in design reviews and project meetings, and contributes to prototype builds, manufacturing transfer, production readiness, and risk management.

The role requires a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with research and development experience in the medical device industry. The stated experience qualification is two years in health and/or business communities with a bachelor's degree, or zero to two years with a master's degree. The position may require travel up to 10% and the ability to work flexible hours. Hologic provides comprehensive onboarding training and continued development and training. The role offers a competitive salary and annual bonus scheme; the annualized base salary range is $78,000–$122,000 and the position is bonus eligible.

• Working knowledge of frame and enclosure design, including structural support, component mounting, fit and alignment, access, and serviceability.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes relevant to product development, including machining, casting, sheet-metal fabrication, injection molding, joining, rapid prototyping, and plating.
• Ability to support mechanical design of electromechanical interfaces, including pump mounting and integration, and console-to-disposable interfaces such as FMS FloPaks.
• Practical problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to prepare clear technical documentation, including engineering reports, protocols, and verification and validation records, with moderate guidance.
• Clear technical communication skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, suppliers, manufacturing engineers, and project stakeholders.
• Ability to work flexible hours.
• Ability to travel as necessary up to 10%.
• Ability to sit, stand, walk, reach with hands and arms, use hands to finger, handle, and feel, and talk and hear; close vision, color vision, and ability to adjust focus; ability to lift or move up to 25 pounds.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with experiments, test methods, statistical tools, design of experiments (DOE), or Minitab.
• SolidWorks experience is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Perform assigned mechanical design and project tasks of simple to moderate complexity for new product development, under the direction of project and engineering leads from concept through design transfer.
• Support development of product frames and skins, considering structural performance, weight, appearance, cleanability, service access, manufacturability, and cost.
• Create and update SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings in accordance with project requirements and engineering practices, considering interfaces, functional dimensions, tolerances, and design intent.
• Support mechanical integration of electromechanical components, including pumps, console frames, electrical systems, and fluid pathways.
• Support design and evaluation of interfaces between reusable consoles and disposable components such as FMS FloPaks, considering alignment, connection, retention, sealing, usability, and reliable operation.
• Apply design-for-manufacturing and assembly principles to assigned components; identify potential cost drivers and cost-reduction opportunities and evaluate alternatives with guidance from senior engineers and suppliers.
• Apply working knowledge of machining, casting, bent sheet-metal fabrication, injection molding, and plating to develop manufacturable designs and incorporate supplier and manufacturing feedback.
• Perform engineering research, analysis, tolerance stack-ups, and investigations; support prototype and verification testing and use results to resolve design issues.
• Prepare and maintain assigned engineering deliverables, including design documentation, risk inputs, protocols, reports, and verification and validation records, with appropriate review and guidance.
• Participate in design reviews and project meetings; communicate progress, technical findings, risks, and open issues to project and cross-functional team members.
• Support prototype builds, manufacturing transfer, and production-readiness activities, including documentation, supplier coordination, and resolution of build issues.
• Apply risk-management tools to identify, assess, and help mitigate design and process risks during new product development.

Benefits

• Comprehensive training upon joining and continued development and training throughout the employee's career.
• Competitive salary.
• Annual bonus scheme; the role is bonus eligible.
