Senior Staff Mechanical Design Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Develop detailed 3D CAD models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks, including complex surface modelling for ergonomic and aesthetic design features.

Apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure design intent, fit, and manufacturability.

Perform tolerance analysis and mechanical calculations to validate design robustness.

Select materials and manufacturing processes (injection moulding, machining, casting, sheet metal, etc.) suitable for medical applications.

Support engineering builds and hands-on mechanical testing to evaluate design functionality, performance, and reliability.

Participate in design brainstorming, feasibility studies, and FMEA sessions to identify and mitigate risks early in the design cycle.

Collaborate closely with suppliers, toolmakers, and contract manufacturers to ensure design feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturability.

Review supplier drawings, tooling concepts, and first article inspection (FAI) reports.

Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) improvements throughout the development process.

Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including BOMs, drawings, ECOs, and test reports, in compliance with ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 design control requirements.
