You will contribute throughout the product development lifecycle, from concept generation and detailed mechanical design to prototyping, engineering documentation, and product data management. Leveraging your expertise in Creo, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and engineering fundamentals, you will help develop innovative, manufacturable solutions that enhance product performance and reliability.
Working closely with cross-functional teams including Manufacturing, Quality, Analysis, and Test Engineering, you will play a key role in delivering safe, high-quality medical technologies that improve patient outcomes worldwide.

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

• Develop mechanical design concepts and detailed design solutions based on product and engineering requirements.
• Create, modify, and maintain complex 3D CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings using Creo.
• Apply GD&T principles and perform tolerance stack-up analyses to support robust product designs.
• Support NPD and RPE programs through concept development, design modifications, engineering investigations, and design optimization activities.
• Develop practical and manufacturable solutions by applying sound mechanical engineering principles and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) practices.
• Support prototype builds, product evaluations, and engineering testing activities in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Manage CAD and product data using Windchill, including CAD files, BOMs, product structures, revisions, and engineering documentation.
• Perform BOM reviews, product structure assessments, revision comparisons, and support PLM data migration and cleanup initiatives.
• Collaborate with global engineering, manufacturing, quality, test, and analysis teams to resolve technical challenges and implement product improvements.
• Review engineering drawings and CAD models and provide technical guidance during design reviews.
