Core Job Responsibilities:
Develop robotic assemblies for the next generation surgical robotic platforms, with careful consideration for key functions and safety.
Collaborate with other team members (manufacturing, electrical, software, mechanical, imaging, system, clinical, quality) to solve complex, system level design challenges.
Rapidly create and iterate functional prototypes in a fast-paced startup environment, including platform hardware architect, mechatronic and robotic system design, kinematic analysis, FEA simulation, component selection, electromechanical integration.
Generate and own models for assemblies, components, and drawings, in a government regulated environment.
Conduct design failure-modes analysis and associated verification testing.
Collaborate with vendors, suppliers, quality and manufacturing through the product life cycle.
Mentoring and coaching other engineers in problem solving and technical expertise.
Qualifications:
A minimum of a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering with over 6 or more years of experience in developing system hardware or capital equipment is required.
Experience developing robotic arms is preferred.
Experience in structural designs, complex mechanisms and mechatronic applications is required.
Experience with precision components (gears, belts, lead screws), encoders and servomotor selection is required.
Experience in CAD, such as SolidWorks (preferred), and/or ProE.
Strong understanding of fabrication methods including machining, sheet metal, rapid prototyping, sand casting and molding.
Hands-on engineering with the proven ability to work well in a team environment.
Analysis skills, including statics, dynamics, strength of materials and stress analysis.
Must be capable of working independently and in a team while being flexible, self-motivated, curious and willing to revolutionize the world of medical robotics.
An approachable individual who provides a high level of teamwork and cross-functional collaboration.
Previous experience in developing Medical Devices in an FDA regulated environment is preferred.
