About The Position

Join Stryker’s Amplitude Vascular Systems (AVS) team in Waltham, Massachusetts as a Staff Mechanical Engineer, R&D. This engineering role supports advanced medical-device development, focusing on researching new concepts, building prototypes, and developing test methods to evaluate technical feasibility. The role contributes across the product development process, applying mechanical and electromechanical engineering expertise to explore concepts, solve complex design challenges, and evaluate innovative technologies.

The engineer researches, designs, develops, modifies, and verifies medical-device components, modules, and subsystems. The role translates user and clinical needs into design inputs, specifications, and system-level designs; develops prototypes and testing methodologies; and designs and optimizes assemblies using design-for-manufacturability principles, materials knowledge, and manufacturing processes. It also involves creating and evaluating engineering drawings and models, applying medical-device standards and regulations, managing design risks and controls, and preparing engineering and Design History File documentation under the Quality Management System.

The position partners with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing, and Project Management, communicating technical plans and supporting projects through design, development, and launch. The role is onsite in Waltham, Massachusetts, with 10% travel.
