The role

You will design, prototype, and validate mechanical and mechatronic subsystems for the AEON surgical stapling platform. You will take designs from concept to production through prototyping, testing, and manufacturing.

What you will do

• Design, prototype, and validate mechanical and mechatronic subsystems for the AEON surgical stapling platform.
• Develop 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and assemblies using SolidWorks.
• Review designs for mechanical performance, reliability, manufacturability, and appropriate tolerancing.
• Select materials and components for precision, miniaturized mechanical systems.
• Build and test prototypes and use experimental results to guide design decisions.
• Partner with manufacturing engineers on DFM/DFA, process development, and design transfer.
• Document development work in accordance with medical device design controls and quality requirements.
• Support improvements to existing products with a focus on performance, quality, manufacturability, speed, and cost.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals and hands-on problem-solving ability.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD.
• Experience designing precision mechanical components and assemblies.
• Exposure to manufacturing processes such as injection molding, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, or stamping.
• Experience taking designs through prototyping and testing.
• Ability to communicate design decisions clearly and work closely with engineers across disciplines.
• Curiosity, sound engineering judgment, and a strong sense of ownership.

Nice to have

• SolidWorks experience
• Medical device or other regulated product-development experience

Before you apply

• Please submit a portfolio showing relevant engineering work, such as CAD, prototypes, technical drawings, testing, or other examples of how you approach engineering problems.
