**What You Can Expect**
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will act as a senior technical individual contributor and technical lead for complex mechanical engineering activities related to existing products and manufacturing processes.

This role requires deep engineering expertise, solid independent judgment, and the ability to lead technical work across cross-functional teams without formal people management responsibilities.

You will be expected to identify technical risks, diagnose complex product and process issues, develop robust engineering solutions, and guide implementation in a regulated medical device environment.

Success in this role requires a hands-on, analytical engineer who can move effectively between design, manufacturing, quality, supplier, and regulatory considerations.
**How You'll Create Impact**
Lead the technical execution of product improvement initiatives for existing products, from problem definition through engineering assessment, solution development, verification, implementation, and release




Serve as a technical contributor for cross-functional activities involving engineering, production, quality, suppliers, and new product development partners
Own complex engineering analyses to support design changes, production issue resolution, and product performance improvement, including dimensional, tolerance stack-up, functional, structural, and failure mode assessments
Independently investigate product and process nonconformances, customer complaints, and technical issues by identifying root causes, assessing risk, and recommending practical, data-driven corrective actions
Define, plan, and execute verification and validation activities associated with engineering changes using scientifically and statistically sound methods
Develop test methods, protocols, and engineering rationales to support product modifications, design decisions, and manufacturing improvements
Evaluate the impact of design or process changes on product performance, manufacturability, reliability, quality, and regulatory compliance
Coordinate implementation and transfer of product improvements to suppliers and manufacturing teams, ensuring technical requirements are clearly defined and effectively executed
Contribute technical expertise to risk management activities, including FMEA and related engineering risk assessments.

Support CAPA, nonconformance, and complaint investigation activities with strong technical analysis and clear documentation




Provide engineering documentation and technical support for regulatory submissions, product certifications, and change control activities, including support for 510(k)-related documentation where applicable
**What Makes You Stand Out**
Significant experience in the medical device industry or another highly regulated manufacturing workplace
Experience working within an ISO 13485-regulated environment
Solid experience with engineering change implementation for released products
Experience with risk management activities, including DFMEA and structured engineering risk evaluation
Experience planning and executing verification and validation (V&V;) activities
Familiarity with 510(k) submission support activities and the documentation expectations associated with regulated product changes
Strong capability in tolerance stack-up analysis for mechanical assemblies
Strong knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T;)
Hands-on experience with prototyping, inspection, manufacturing support, and supplier collaboration
Strong root-cause investigation and corrective action skills
Strong technical writing and documentation skills in a regulated environment
**Your Background**
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
Minimum of 5 years of relevant engineering experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
Strong in-depth mechanical engineering fundamentals, including design analysis, failure analysis, and manufacturability
Proficiency with 3D CAD tools; Solid

Works experience preferred
