We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to support the development and lifecycle management of disposable fluid-path components within our Urology portfolio. This role will focus on injection-molded plastic components and assemblies including cartridges cassettes tubing systems connectors sealing interfaces locking mechanisms and other flow-control components integrated into electromechanical medical devices.
The engineer will divide their time between sustaining existing products and supporting the development of new tubing and disposable solutions. The role places particular emphasis on supplier collaboration product lifecycle ownership injection-molded plastic design and the resolution of design manufacturing and field-related issues.
You will serve as a primary technical interface with suppliers while partnering with an experienced plastics subject matter expert and cross-functional teams in Quality Manufacturing Advanced Operations Supplier Quality and Sourcing. This team structure provides strong technical mentorship and support while allowing the engineer to build ownership of assigned components and projects.
What You Will Do
Translate customer and product needs into engineering requirements specifications and mechanical designs for disposable fluid-path components.
Support the design and development of cartridges cassettes tubing systems connectors sealing interfaces locking mechanisms and other plastic components.
Create and evaluate design concepts through prototyping engineering analysis and proof-of-concept testing.
Develop 3D models engineering drawings tolerance analyses and GD&T documentation.
Apply injection-molding design principles including material selection part geometry dimensional requirements tooling considerations and manufacturing feasibility.
Lead technical collaboration with suppliers during concept development design reviews tooling development component qualification and production support.
Evaluate supplier capabilities and work with Supplier Quality and Sourcing to address quality cost delivery and manufacturability requirements.
Review supplier-proposed concepts and provide technical recommendations based on product performance design requirements and manufacturing risk.
