• Develop and execute test protocols for performance, safety, and reliability.
• Lead design reviews, support prototype builds, and ensure smooth transitions into production.
• Select materials and suppliers, evaluating tooling, cost, and manufacturability options.
• Balance creativity and discipline, managing multiple design projects from concept through launch.

• Proficient in SolidWorks (or similar 3D CAD software)
• Understanding of sheet metal design and fabrication processes (preferred)
• Basic knowledge of FEA, tolerance analysis, and material selection
• Comfortable with ERP systems and Microsoft Excel
• Familiarity with medical device standards (IEC/UL 60601) or regulated industries (a plus)

• Curious, hands-on learner with a team-first attitude
• Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills focused on User Experience
• Self-motivated and detail-oriented with a passion for design excellence
• Thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment
• Committed to continuous improvement and learning from feedback

• BS in Mechanical Engineering or related field (preferred)
• 1–3 years of hands-on mechanical design or product development experience
• Internship or co-op experience in manufacturing or medical devices a plus

• You’ll see your designs come to life—impacting healthcare professionals and patients across the U.S.
• You’ll grow alongside experienced engineers who mentor and support your development.
• You’ll be part of a mission-driven company that’s growing fast and investing in innovation.
• You’ll have opportunities to expand your skills, take ownership, and help shape the future of our products.

We offer competitive compensation, benefits, and a collaborative work environment where innovation thrives.

Bring your creativity, curiosity, and commitment—and join a team that’s redefining what’s possible in medical equipment.
