Job Title

Senior Mechanical Engineer - Ultrasound

Job Description

Your role:

• The Senior Mechanical Engineer will lead the design, development, and optimization of mechanical components for ultrasound products, with a focus on plastic part design and tooling. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, reliable, and manufacturable ultrasound systems that meet regulatory and performance standards.

You are responsible for

• Plastic Part Design: Design and develop plastic components for Ultrasound products, ensuring durability, precision, and compatibility with medical standards.
• Tooling Development: Oversee the design and specification of injection molding tools, ensuring high-quality production of plastic parts. Collaborate with tooling vendors to optimize mold designs for cost, efficiency, and quality.
• Material Selection: Select appropriate plastic materials (e.g., ABS, PC, PEEK) based on mechanical, thermal, and biocompatibility requirements for Ultrasound applications.
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Apply DFM principles to ensure plastic components and tooling designs are optimized for high-volume production, minimizing defects and costs.
• Prototyping and Testing: Lead the development of prototypes for plastic components, conducting mechanical testing (e.g., stress, fatigue, and thermal analysis) to verify designs.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with electrical engineers, software engineers, and industrial designers to integrate mechanical components into Ultrasound systems.
• Tolerance Analysis: Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure proper fit and function of plastic components within Ultrasound assemblies.
• Project Management: Lead mechanical engineering projects, managing timelines, budgets, and deliverables. Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and oversee design reviews.
• Sustainability and Cost Optimization: Incorporate sustainable design practices and cost-effective solutions in plastic part and tooling designs without compromising quality.

You're the right fit if:

• Master/bachelor's in mechanical engineering with 10+ years of experience
• Expertise in design techniques, application domain and engineering. Keeps it up-to-date and propagates it, both internal and external.
• Experience in any of the configuration management tools (E.g. eMarix, Windchill, SAP) and techniques is a mandatory requirement.
• Ability to technically lead a team with Domain Expertise in Machine Design, Manufacturing process, Materials selection, Value Engineering
• Knowledge and Experience in Thermal modeling, analysis and design is preferred.
• Analytical, creative, and intellectual thinker, with ability to perform mechanical design calculations & verify designs.
• Good Knowledge of Manufacturing processes like Sheet Metal & Fabrication / Plastic / Machining while designing.
• Good command of skills like Reliability measures, DFSS (Design for Six Sigma), Risk Analysis, DFMEA, DFM, GD & T, Tolerance Stack up Analysis etc.
• Lateral thinker with bird’s eye view, capable of finding an appropriate solution to complex problems.
• Knowledge of and experience in hardware/software interfaces, understanding of cross functional operations
• Exposure to work in a global environment, ability to communicate on different levels, good listener, coach and guide project team, with good presentation skills.
• Working knowledge of CAD & FEA Tools like Proe / SolidWorks / Windchill / Ansys Classic / Ansys Workbench will be added advantage.
• Exposure to International Medical Quality and Regulatory Standards e.g. IEC, FDA, CFR, MDD, UL, CE, CSA, BIS etc. will be added advantage.
• Experience in the field of Medical Devices product design e.g. Ultrasound will be added advantage.
