Mechanical Design Engineer

Full-time

Barrington James

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer | Wearable Medical Device | San Mateo, CA

We're working with a fast-growing medical device company building wearable neuromodulation technology, already FDA-cleared and treating patients today, now expanding into new therapeutic areas.

They're hiring a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to lead mechanical design of their next-generation wearable platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves the challenge of making a medical device look and feel like premium consumer hardware.

What you'll do:

  • Own mechanical design of small, body-worn plastic components from concept through production
  • Partner closely with industrial design to nail surface finish, texture and overall aesthetic
  • Lead design for manufacturing across injection molding and contract manufacturing partners
  • Support early clinical studies with rapid prototyping and iteration
  • Build design control documentation as the device matures toward next FDA submission

What you'll bring:

  • 4+ years mechanical design experience with SolidWorks
  • Direct experience designing cosmetic, high volume plastic parts for wearable or handheld consumer products
  • Comfort working alongside industrial designers and understanding why finish and texture matter
  • Exposure to medical device development a plus, full training provided
  • Based in the Bay Area, able to be onsite Mondays and Thursdays minimum

Why this role:

  • Growth into a senior technical leadership track, not a ceiling role
  • Small team, high autonomy
  • Work on a platform expanding into multiple new disease areas

Please apply directly if of interest!
