Sr Mechatronics Engineer- Robotics

We have an immediate opportunity for an accomplished mechatronics engineer who can take the working surgical robotic prototype and scale it through manufacturing, identifying and resolving problems along the way as needed to support the company’s goals for FDA clearance and commercialization.

Our client is a first-in-class surgical robotics innovator lead by some of the most respected, recognized leaders in the space!

Responsibilities

  • Triage and solve complex, cross functional problems by identifying root causes across mechanical, electrical, and software systems
  • Lead hands-on system integration and prototyping by participating on-site in building and commissioning prototype robotic systems, combining mechanical, electronic, and software principles, and conducting rigorous testing and simulations to evaluate performance
  • Drive manufacturing scale-up and design iterations by collecting feedback from manufacturing teams and clinical users, then rapidly translating insights into effective design changes while owning all mechanical and electrical modifications
  • Document and communicate design learnings on manufacturability and reliability to the broader hardware team, creating scalable processes that enable others to replicate setup and integration without creating dependencies

Qualifications

  • BS in a related engineering discipline, or equivalent work experience (mechatronics, robotics)
  • Expecting 5+ years of relevant experience (medical device or a similar regulated field experience preferred)
  • Experience with medical device (or equivalent) development process, design control, design verification, and regulatory processes
  • Experience with using CAD (SolidWorks preferred) for creating detailed parts, assemblies, and drawings for manufacturing, using GD&T as appropriate and working within a PDM system
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal analyzer)
  • C++ and Python programming skills, with the ability to run and configure test scripts to support debugging, and create clear bug reports when issues are found
