Position Summary:
The Mechanical Engineer will design, develop, and deliver high-reliability mechanical components and assemblies for Class III implantable neuromodulation systems and associated external accessories used deep brain simulation (DBS). This role ensures mechanical integrity, patient safety, and compliance with medical device regulations across the full product lifecycle. This engineer will also serve as a technical influencer, shaping mechanical architecture decisions, directing cross-functional design activities, and guiding teams toward robust, scalable engineering solutions.
Essential Functions:
Mechanical Design & Development
Design mechanical components, assemblies, prototypes, and test fixtures for implantable devices and external system components.
Establish and maintain mechanical requirements, specifications, and system-level constraints.
Conduct solid modeling, tolerance stack analysis, and GD&T-based mechanical design.
Interface with external vendors to develop prototypes, assess manufacturability, and optimize fabrication approaches.
Develop and execute mechanical experiments, including test method definition, test setup design, and data analysis.
Investigate mechanical failure modes and drive design changes through structured problem solving.
Regulated Product Development
Support development activities in compliance with FDA regulations and ISO standards for Class III implantable medical devices.
Prepare, process, and maintain engineering documentation such as ECOs, reports, and design files.
Contribute to verification and validation strategy and execution for mechanical subsystems.
Ensure mechanical design decisions meet safety, reliability, and regulatory expectations across the development lifecycle.
Technical Leadership & Influence
Lead cross-functional project team(s) to deliver mechanical solutions aligned with program goals.
Influence product architecture, system-level trade-offs, material selection, and manufacturing strategies.
Anticipate mechanical risks and proactively guide mitigation plans.
Collaborate closely with systems, electrical, firmware, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory teams to ensure seamless system integration.
Communicate effectively with physicians and clinicians to gather user insights and integrate feedback into design decisions.
Innovation & Technology Development
