• Strong prototyping and iterative design skills, with hands-on experience building and testing mechanical systems.
• Deep knowledge of manufacturing processes such as injection molding, machining, sheet metal forming, and rapid prototyping.
• Demonstrated ability to design for manufacturability, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
• Experience managing outsourced development programs and setting technical criteria for vendor deliverables.
• Skilled in mechanical analysis including statics, dynamics, kinematics, and stress analysis.
• Advanced proficiency in tolerance stack-up analysis for low- to mid-volume production environments.
• Familiarity with IEC 60601 standards and thermal design for complex integrated systems.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive consensus, and present to executive leadership.
• Deep understanding of medical device regulations, design controls, risk management, and quality systems (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820).
• Proven track record of delivering Class II/III medical devices from concept through commercialization.
• Travel up to 10% of the time, internationally and domestic

• Prior experience with robotic surgery systems, endoscopic devices, or advanced instrumentation.
