Description

We are building a novel medical robotic application, bringing together an exciting set of hardware and software into an elegant product. We are looking for someone who can take a mechanical system of the robot design from initial concept all the way to product. What You’ll Do: - Collaborate with Manufacturing and Clinical teams on designs, incorporating this input into quick and effective design iterations. - Participate in building and bringing up prototype robotic systems and support all things mechanical in their pre-clinical lab use. - Lead alignment of complex technical topics and hardware architecture across the Mechanical Engineering team and broadly across the R&D organization and Capstan. - Document and communicate learnings on design manufacturability and reliability to the broader hardware team, mentoring others in best practices. - Identify gaps and pitch in as needed to ensure that the team meets their goals and objectives. - Strengthen the team by providing leadership and mentorship on best practices and design strategies.

Requirements

BS in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline, or equivalent work experience. Expecting 12+ years of relevant experience (medical device experience preferred). Comfort working with high levels of ambiguity and ability to convert that into tangible outcomes. Experience with designing, manufacturing transfer, and shipping of medical device capital equipment or equivalent complexity systems. Deep expertise in areas particular to robotic system design: kinematics, mechanisms, bearings, gears, sensors, actuators. Experience with medical device development process, design control, design verification, and regulatory processes.
