Job Description:
Looking for Mechanical background and experience.
Min 3 years experience required

Primary Function of Position
Design and construct manufacturing equipment used to produce minimally invasive medical devices. This equipment will range in complexity from custom manual fixtures to semi-automated electro-mechanical systems, integrating work-holding, sensing, motion and vision control. This position will play a critical role in developing cutting edge manufacturing capabilities to enable the future of minimally invasive surgery.
The ideal candidate should have a solid understanding of the technical aspects of mechanical engineering and design. He/she will work closely with senior level equipment staff and other departments to develop and sustain custom equipment for production use. This person will thrive working autonomously on projects with medium to high complexity.

Essential Job Duties
Design and build in-house manufacturing equipment from concept to implementation.
Create effective design solutions of mechanical assemblies from simple fixturing to more complex assembly for automation equipment.
Iterate rapidly by prototyping, testing, and examining product designs using engineering methods and techniques, including computer simulation and physical models.
Ensure manufacturing equipment designs meet functional, safety, ergonomic,
documentation, and validation requirements.
Create and manage project plans including schedules, budgets, and stakeholder
updates.
Develop documentation for equipment including specifications, assembly instructions,
maintenance, and calibration procedures.
Create and execute protocol documentation for equipment DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ validations.
Conduct effective design reviews of new equipment at all stages of development.
Provide equipment-related technical support for on-going production operation and
expansion.
Establish and manage external resources (contractors, system integrators, vendors) in
the planning and execution of equipment projects including duplication activities.
Support other equipment-related operations and duties as required

Qualifications
Required Skills and Experience
Minimum BSME or similar.
Minimum 3 years experience designing and developing Automated manufacturing
equipment.

with minimum of 5 years related experience.
Experience with enterprise software (e.g. Agile document control, Confluence, Polarion,
Windchill, etc)
Prior experience working with PLM systems (Agile preferred), SAP applications, including
ECO creation, origination of equipment specification, test protocols, BOM, and work
instructions.

Preferred Skills and Experience
Excellent understanding of tolerance analysis and statistical methods. Fluency in ASME
Y14.5 GD&T and tolerance stack analysis
MSME (or equivalent) with minimum 6 plus years prior experience.
Structured Problem Solving. Rational thinking and root cause analysis capability.
Experience working in a medical device or other regulated quality systems .
