About The Position

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at Anatomage, you will be responsible for leading complex and open-ended mechanical engineering projects. You will collaborate closely with company leadership and cross-functional teams to transform concepts into functional, manufacturable products. The ideal candidate is a highly experienced and hands-on engineer capable of independently managing a project from initial concept and design through prototyping, testing, iteration, and production. This role demands strong technical judgment, creativity, and the ability to navigate projects where requirements and solutions may not be clearly defined.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field.
7+ years of professional experience in mechanical design and product development.
Strong proficiency with 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks or 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.

Nice To Haves

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.
Strong portfolio of mechanical design/product development work.

Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems, products, components, and technologies from concept through production.
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.
