Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain restore health and extend life. Our 95000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72 million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose growth and impact.

Join Medtronic as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer and play a key role in the design and development of innovative mechanical and electromechanical medical products and systems across Research and Technology (R&T) New Product Development (NPD) and Released Product Engineering (RPE). You will apply strong mechanical engineering expertise technical judgment predictive engineering methods and creative problem-solving to develop launch and sustain high-quality solutions intended to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

You will work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team taking ownership of complex engineering activities from concept design and analysis through prototyping production design verification and validation manufacturing transfer and released-product support. The role also provides opportunities to lead technical activities influence engineering decisions collaborate with internal and external stakeholders and provide guidance to less experienced engineers.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Lead and execute mechanical engineering activities across R&T NPD and RPE including the design and development of mechanical and electromechanical components assemblies mechanisms and systems creation of 3D models engineering drawings and technical documentation
• Perform engineering analyses including tolerance stack-up and Geometric Dimensioning Tolerancing (GD&T) and predictive engineering to evaluate and optimize product performance reliability manufacturability and cost
• Plan support and document prototype builds engineering testing Verification and Validation (V&V) and the design and qualification of assembly test calibration fixtures jigs and tools
• Lead technical investigations and structured root-cause analysis for complex design manufacturing test production and field issues and develop implement and verify appropriate corrective actions and design improvements
• Drive product lifecycle activities across development and sustaining engineering including Bill of Materials (BOM) development configuration control engineering changes technical documentation and transfer of designs from Research and Development (R&D) to manufacturing and ongoing released product support
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams suppliers quality systems tests electrical and other cross-functional stakeholders on technology evaluation component selection manufacturing processes assembly product introduction design transfer and resolution of technical issues
• Provide technical guidance coaching and design reviews for other engineers and lead engineering projects or workstreams across R&T NPD and RPE as assigned

Required Knowledge and Experience:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline with a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience; or a Masters degree with a minimum of 2 years of relevant experience; or a PhD with 0 years of relevant experience
• Strong experience in mechanical product design and development including precision-machined parts sheet metal components plastics mechanisms and mechanical assemblies
• Strong knowledge and practical application of engineering drawings GD&T tolerance stack-up analysis design for manufacturability and design verification methods
• Proficiency with 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools such as CREO and SolidWorks
• Strong knowledge of common metal and plastic manufacturing processes and experience working with suppliers and manufacturing teams during development product introduction and released product support
• Strong analytical problem-solving written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work independently and effectively within multidisciplinary and cross-functional teams

Experience in medical device development and familiarity with relevant medical device standards guidelines and regulations would be beneficial. Additional experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and engineering change processes design controls risk management electrical motors pneumatic systems wiring and cabling process validation and equipment qualification Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (pFMEA) lean manufacturing 5S and structured root-cause analysis methods would also be an advantage.
