Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer
About The Position
As a Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer in CAS Research & Technology (R&T), you will support the initial design of electrophysiology devices for use with the Affera Mapping and Ablation System. This high-impact role helps define the design direction for future catheter and sheath products. The Affera system uses advanced mapping to image the heart’s electrical activity and targeted energy to disrupt abnormal signals that cause cardiac arrhythmias. The role involves designing mechanical elements of cardiac electrophysiology catheters and other Class II and III devices intended for high-volume assembly. It also involves developing manufacturing and assembly processes for complex catheter assemblies with miniature precision electromechanical components, and working cross-functionally to integrate electrical components and systems with mechanical designs. The position follows Medtronic’s minimum four-day-per-week onsite work model.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience, or a master’s degree and a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience, or a PhD with 0 years of relevant experience.
- Strong design experience with mechanical products.
- Excellent working knowledge of 3D CAD tools; SolidWorks is preferred.
- Command of theoretical and practical engineering fundamentals.
- Interest in learning about cardiac electrophysiology.
Nice To Haves
- Degree focus in Mechanical Engineering.
- Experience in medical device design.
- Mechanical aptitude and willingness to work in a laboratory environment.
- Motivated self-starter able to thrive with minimal direction.
- Team-oriented approach and ability to work cross-functionally across disciplines and groups.
- Strong organization and attention to detail.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Responsibilities
- Conceptualize, prototype, design, and develop mechanical system elements of cardiac electrophysiology catheters and other Class II and III devices for high-volume assembly.
- Develop manufacturing and assembly processes for complex catheter assemblies containing miniature, precision electromechanical components.
- Conceptualize, design, and implement test methods and fixtures for characterization or validation.
- Support device manufacturing by developing improved processes and tooling, troubleshooting manufacturing and assembly issues, and working with Quality team members on recovery plans and problem resolution.
- Participate in design reviews and assist with Design and Process Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEA).
- Identify and work closely with component manufacturers to ensure timely and accurate component delivery.
- Attend and participate in pre-clinical in-vivo system evaluations, interacting with clinicians and industry professionals to evaluate design concepts.
- Participate in laboratory demonstrations for clinicians and internal stakeholders.
- Work cross-functionally with electronics hardware and software engineers to integrate electrical components and systems with mechanical designs.
