Job Description
We are looking for a Staff Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in plastics engineering design to support Strykers Instruments Division. This role is focused on new product development supporting our Surgical Technologies business working specifically on the development of our Next Generation Neptune portfolio.
This role is hybrid based in Strykers Global HQ in Portage MI with the expectation to come into the office 34 days a week.
What You Will Do
As a Staff Mechanical Design Engineer you will work as part of a team on the design and integration of multiple mechanical subsystems and components into a large complex electromechanical medical device which serves to manage smoke and fluid in an OR setting. You will support design and development from inception phase to launch. The role will focus on the design development and validation of plastic components and assemblies for complex electromechanical systems. The ideal candidate will have experience in designing components for injection molding thermoforming and design for manufacturability (DFM). Youll work crossfunctionally with industrial design manufacturing quality and regulatory teams to deliver innovative and reliable products.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the design development and evaluation of plastic and polymer materials assemblies and subsystems for electromechanical medical devices with expertise in thermoforming and injection molding processes.
- Translate user needs into detailed design inputs and independently develop complex systemlevel designs with emphasis on plastics manufacturability and performance optimization.
- Apply and mentor others in advanced engineering principles focusing on fluid management filtration suction thermal management and clinical application alignment.
- Conduct advanced prototyping material selection and validation testing; guide resolution of complex design issues and lead one or more technical areas of expertise.
- Drive innovation through technology exploration development of patents or trade secrets and contribute to competitive and market strategy using indepth domain knowledge.
- Execute customerfacing activities such as voice of customer and customercentric design in collaboration with crossfunctional stakeholders ensuring regulatory and design standards compliance.
