A better career for you. Creating medical technology for all.

Why This Role

We're ramping up for some of the most exciting projects in our pipeline. These programs are pushing our team beyond current capacity, and we need two experienced Mechanical Design Engineers with strong PTC Creo skills to step in and own real design work from day one.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who's already built a solid track record in mechanical design and wants to apply it to devices that matter — including robotic surgery technology. You'll work with real autonomy, partner directly with customers, and mentor less experienced engineers on the team, all while contributing to some of the most technically interesting programs in our portfolio.

What You'll Do

Design & CAD

• Own mechanical CAD design work from concept through release

• Lead Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) sessions

• Maintain and oversee engineering documentation and records

Data & Documentation

• Manage design data in the ERP system to ensure accuracy

• Interpret and apply specifications and regulatory information independently, and guide less experienced engineers in doing the same

Collaboration & Communication

• Serve as a key point of contact with internal and external teams on design projects

• Represent MPE in customer and supplier meetings, speaking directly to design decisions and tradeoffs

Prototyping & Transfer to Manufacturing

• Lead in-house prototype assembly and testing

• Drive new product transfer to manufacturing, including initial builds and documentation

General

• Manage work across established and variable timelines

• Follow all safety and work rules and regulations

• Maintain departmental housekeeping standards

What You Bring

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design engineering

• Strong proficiency in PTC Creo

• Strong computer, math, and oral/written communication skills, with strong attention to detail

• Ability to create and read complex engineering drawings
