    • Work closely with suppliers and contract manufacturers on tooling, materials, processes, and yield improvement.
    • Support FAI, PPAP, pilot builds, and design transfer to manufacturing.
    • Drive resolution of manufacturing issues, NCRs, and deviations related to mechanical design.
    • Collaborate with electronics, software, systems, quality, regulatory, and supply chain teams.
    • Lead and participate in design reviews, technical discussions, and customer walkthroughs.
    • Guide and perform engineering analyses including tolerance stack ups (hand calculations and FEA).
    • Provide technical input for cost reduction, design optimization, and next generation improvements.
    • Mentor and technically guide junior and mid level engineers.

    Requirements:

    • 8+ years of experience in mechanical design and development, with significant experience in medical device NPD.
    • Proven experience leading mechanical development of electromechanical products through full product lifecycle in regulated environments.
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
