Mechanical Design Engineer II
Department: Engineering
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Burlington, MA
Compensation: $100,000 - $115,000 / year
Description
The Mechanical Design Engineer II will be responsible for the design and development of powered orthotics for the MyoPro Product Line. This role requires a strong fundamental understanding of mechatronics as well as experience bringing products from early concept development to commercialization.
The ideal candidate is curious and solutions-oriented, with a passion for robotics, mechatronics, and ideally orthotics & prosthetics. He/she understands the importance of both incorporating user feedback and completing tasks on-schedule, as well as the necessity of sufficient documentation. (We are in a regulated environment after all)
Responsibilities
* Design and improve Myomo's line of robotic exoskeletons.
* Interact with suppliers to obtain quotes and assess component manufacturability from a wide variety of sources, including CNC machining, sheet metal, textiles, orthotics, printed circuit boards, cable harnesses, and injection molding.
* Collaborate with peers to develop testing protocols and fixtures to verify performance and improve line-side manufacturing.
* Effectively utilize CAD designs to bring early-stage concepts through to cost-effective manufacturing and sourcing.
* Construct prototypes and critically evaluate performance using numerical and qualitative techniques.
* Manage small technical projects with a cross-disciplinary team.
* Drafting, tolerancing, and DFM for low-mid volume manufacture.
Requirements
* Bachelor's or higher level degree in mechanical engineering.
* 3+ years of industry experience, master's degree and 2+ years' industry experience, or PhD.
* Experience with electromechanical product development and manufacturing.
* Functional knowledge of rapid-prototyping and volume manufacturing processes including 3D
printing, CNC machining, and injection molding.
* Proficiency with Solidworks, simulation tools, and advanced drafting and tolerancing.
* Experience integrating actuation, sensing, and electronics in compact packages.
* Industry experience with wearables, medical devices, or robotics.
* Excellent written/verbal, interpersonal, and organizational skills with attention to detail.
* Working knowledge of ISO 13485 design control principles and documentation standards.
* Ability to structure and prioritize technical project work to meet deadlines in a risk averse manner.
* Works well independently and in a team environment.
