Mechanical Engineer

Position Summary The Mechanical Engineer designs and develops the mechanical components, housings, and assemblies of client's VCM platform, owning parts from concept through design transfer and sustaining engineering. This role emphasizes precision design, tolerance analysis, and design for manufacturability within a regulated medical-device environment. Essential Duties & Responsibilities Design mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD; produce detailed drawings with proper GD&T. Perform tolerance stack-up, material selection, and design-for-manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) analysis. Build and evaluate prototypes; plan and execute mechanical testing and verification. Contribute to design control deliverables (design inputs/outputs, DFMEA, design reviews, DHF). Support injection molding, machining, and other supplier processes; review parts and resolve issues. Drive design changes, root-cause investigations, and CAPAs for released products. Create and maintain BOMs, specifications, and work instructions; support design transfer to production. Collaborate with electrical/electro-mechanical, quality, and manufacturing teams. Qualifications — Education & Experience Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline. 4–5 years of mechanical design experience; medical device or regulated manufacturing preferred. Experience with plastics/injection molding and precision assemblies is a plus. Required Skills & Competencies Strong CAD proficiency (e.g., SolidWorks) and GD&T application. Solid grasp of tolerance analysis, materials, and manufacturing processes. Prototyping, testing, and data-driven problem solving. Familiarity with design controls and verification/validation preferred. Clear technical documentation and teamwork. Physical Demands & Work Environment Office, lab, and light manufacturing environment; occasional lifting up to 25 lbs. Hands-on bench and prototype work. #J-18808-Ljbffr Gilder Search Group
