Next Generation Surgical Robotics Build

Full Time Direct Hire

Our client i s at the forefront of innovation in the field of surgical robotics. Our mission is to develop cutting-edge robotic systems that empower surgeons to deliver better outcomes for patients worldwide.

We are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team and contribute to the design and development of next-generation robotic surgical systems.

Position Summary:

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will lead the design, analysis, and testing of complex mechanical and machine components for our surgical robotic platforms. You will work cross-functionally with engineers, clinicians, and manufacturing teams to ensure that our systems meet rigorous performance, reliability, and safety standards. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly skilled engineer to make a significant impact in a rapidly growing industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Mechanical Design & Development:
• Design precision mechanisms, robotic components, and machine systems with a focus on reliability, manufacturability, and compactness.
• Develop detailed CAD models and engineering drawings using industry-standard tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo).
• Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes, including machining, injection molding, 3D printing, and sheet metal.

Technical Leadership:

• Lead mechanical design efforts for complex subsystems, ensuring integration with electrical, software, and other mechanical components.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to ensure design excellence.
• Collaborate closely with project management to define project goals, timelines, and deliverables.

Analysis & Simulation:

• Perform stress, thermal, and kinematic analyses using FEA and other tools to validate designs.
• Optimize designs for performance, cost, and manufacturability.

Testing & Validation:

• Develop and execute test plans to validate system performance and reliability.
• Troubleshoot mechanical issues and implement design changes as necessary.

Compliance & Documentation:

• Ensure designs comply with applicable medical device standards (e.g., ISO 13485, IEC 60601).
• Generate comprehensive technical documentation to support design transfer and regulatory submissions.

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (Master’s preferred).
• 8+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in the medical device or robotics industry.
• Expertise in machine design, including actuators, gear systems, and mechanisms.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo) and simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus).
• Strong understanding of materials science and manufacturing processes.
• Experience in designing for high precision and reliability in regulated environments.

Preferred:

• Knowledge of robotic systems, including kinematics, dynamics, and control systems.
• Familiarity with cleanroom manufacturing and biocompatible materials.
• Hands-on prototyping and testing experience.
