Senior Mechanical Engineer â 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 problemsânot just modeling parts at a deskâand wants visible ownership in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.
Youâll take designs and features from concept through production, balancing new development with sustaining engineering, hands-on troubleshooting, and early commercial-stage support. Youâll work closely with systems, electrical, quality, regulatory, operations, and lab teams to improve product performance, reliability, manufacturability, and testability.
What youâll 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.
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 â 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.
