• Translate customer insights and clinical feedback into intuitive, high-performance product solutions.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure efficient, repeatable manufacturing processes.
• 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)
• Experience in sheet metal design (preferred)
• Familiarity with medical device standards (IEC/UL 60601)
• Experience with FEA, material selection, and tolerance analysis
• Comfortable with ERP systems, Excel, and cross-department collaboration tools

• Team-first attitude and a passion for collaboration
• Strong problem-solving and creative thinking skills
• Thrives in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
• Committed to continuous improvement, learning, and growth

• BS in Mechanical Engineering (preferred) or equivalent practical experience
• 3–5 years of hands-on engineering experience
• Experience in medical devices or regulated industries is a plus

• You’ll see your designs come to life—impacting healthcare professionals and patients across the U.S.
• You’ll work with an incredible team that values creativity, respect, and shared success.
• You’ll be part of a mission-driven company that’s growing fast and investing in innovation.
• You’ll have opportunities to grow, take ownership, and shape the future of our product portfolio.
• We offer competitive compensation, benefits, and a supportive, collaborative work environment.

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