Senior Mechanical Engineer – Medical Device

San Diego, CA (Onsite)

130,000-180,000 DOE

Join a growing medical-device team developing and improving a precision electromechanical product. This is an onsite opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving real hardware problems—not just modeling parts at a desk—and wants visible ownership in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.

You’ll take designs and features from concept through production, balancing new development with sustaining engineering, hands-on troubleshooting, and early commercial-stage support. You’ll work closely with systems, electrical, quality, regulatory, operations, and lab teams to improve product performance, reliability, manufacturability, and testability.

What you’ll do:

·       Design and improve precision mechanical components, assemblies, and test fixtures using SolidWorks.

·       Perform failure analysis, root-cause investigations, tolerance stack-ups, FEA, and design-for-manufacturability assessments.

·       Develop and execute verification protocols; analyze results and produce clear technical reports.

·       Build, test, inspect, and troubleshoot hardware in the lab using appropriate test and inspection equipment.

·       Support design changes, prototype builds, 3D printing, and manufacturing transfer activities.

·       Contribute to risk assessments, design reviews, and engineering documentation within a regulated quality system.



Requirements

What you bring:

·       BS in Mechanical Engineering or related field; MS preferred.

·       Approximately 5+ years of product-development experience in medical devices.

·       Strong SolidWorks 3D modeling and drawing experience.

·       Hands-on experience with FEA, tolerance analysis, failure analysis, DOE/statistics, and Minitab.

·       Knowledge of injection molding, DFM, prototyping, and precision mechanical systems.

·        Microfluidics, test-fixture design, hands-on verification testing, injection molding design – all are strong pluses.

·       SolidWorks PDM or another CAD/PDM systems

·       Experience designing test fixtures and working across mechanical, electrical, and systems disciplines.

·       A proactive, coachable, collaborative mindset and comfort owning work end to end.


 



Benefits

This role is onsite in San Diego County, with limited flexibility after the initial ramp-up period. Local candidates preferred; relocation and visa sponsorship are not available.
