• Design experience with mechanisms, robotics, or automation.
• Experience designing robotics, automation mechanisms, and complex electromechanical products.
• ISO 13485 and FDA/cGMP experience.

Responsibilities

• Generate concepts and design product mechanisms, subassemblies, and packaging; perform engineering analysis and produce detailed designs and drawings.
• Identify and select vendors, and outsource off-the-shelf components, custom items, and fabricated parts and assemblies.
• Assemble, troubleshoot, debug, and qualify subsystems and components; resolve design issues as appropriate.
• Clearly communicate and document ideas, options, problems, issues, and test results.
• Develop documentation for product development and production transfer, including models, detail drawings, diagrams, bills of materials, and assembly procedures.
• Ensure specifications, schedules, and budgets are met.
• Support manufacturing and field service after product release.
• Work effectively within a team environment.
• Depending on level, manage project proposals, plans, schedules, work assignments, primary contact responsibilities, technical presentations, and cross-functional issue resolution.
