Senior Mechanical Design Engineer - Flexible Instruments

Job Description Primary Function of Position: This candidate will support the design and testing of next generation robotic flexible instruments. Essential Job Duties: Design new instrument components, using knowledge and experience to select the optimal material and process (metal vs. plastic, molded vs. extruded vs. MIM vs. formed, etc.). Develop test methods, fixtures, and measurement tools to evaluate the performance of robotic catheters and sub-assemblies. Benchmark existing designs and compare candidate designs. Present your findings to design engineering, clinical, and manufacturing, and make recommendations for design iterations. Work with clinical engineering and manufacturing to understand key drivers of product performance, durability, and ease of assembly. Investigate and determine root cause of emerging design or manufacturing defects. Help define engineering requirements and ensure candidate designs are backed by robust data prior to design freeze. Complete detailed drawings and robust tolerance analysis and update designs accordingly. Support process development engineering activities. Mentor and guide younger engineers about best practices in design and engineering. #J-18808-Ljbffr Intuitive
