The team works closely with our MDS Strategic Innovation Group.

Job Summary:

The Mechanical Engineer is a creative engineer that continuously ideates solutions to solve challenging customer needs and combines this drive with a strong sense for manufacturability, cost, and usability. The ideal candidate can quickly put ideas in CAD and subsequently prototype and test solutions to create a Proof of Concept, in close collaboration with other ME/EE engineers. Furthermore, the successful candidate will contribute to critical product development workstreams of disruptive, new-to-the-world products that have aggressive launch dates and a high level of visibility across the BD organization. The person will be responsible for specific mechanical aspects of these workstreams. Furthermore, person will provide timely updates to the mechanical and overall technical leads.

Responsibilities:

* Ideate solutions and rapidly develop Proof of Concepts and test these concepts, demonstrating ability of concepts to satisfy identified customer needs and product requirements.
* Deliver on mechanical design portion of overall project, with strong accountability for successful completion of agreed upon deliverables.
* Down-select solutions using a structured process and present both down-selection process and final design to technical lead
* Development of designs that create positive user-response and have relatively low manufacturing cost.
* Development of tolerance stacks, DOEs, and design guides.
* Ensures design process takes into account usability, moldability, ease of assembly considerations
* Management of internal and external partners to create components, assemblies, and cost estimates.
* Development of tolerance stacks, DOEs, and design guides.
* Management of internal and external partners to create components, assemblies, and cost estimates.
* Define, track and report progress of work-streams that have a high level of visibility within the company.
