Job Description

Mechanical Engineer with experience in regulated environments, skilled in mechanical design, analysis, and cross-functional collaboration to develop reliable, cost-effective components and subsystems.

Responsibilities: -

  • Support development and resolution of complex mechanical designs and technical issues across MR programs under direction of engineering leadership. Participate in technical design reviews, trade studies, and feasibility assessments at the component and subsystem level.

  • Execute mechanical design and analysis activities, including structural, thermal, and functional simulations of components and subsystems.

  • Ensure mechanical designs meet requirements for performance, reliability, safety, cost, manufacturability, and serviceability in a regulated medical environment.

  • Translate system and subsystem requirements into detailed mechanical designs and supporting documentation.

  • Support cost reduction and design to value efforts, including redesign of high cost components and subsystems as assigned.

  • Identify potential technical risks and support mitigation actions in collaboration with cross functional teams.

  • Interface with suppliers and manufacturing partners to support technical evaluations, issue resolution, and design readiness.

  • Contribute to reuse, standardization, and common technology initiatives across the MR product portfolio.

Educational Qualifications: -

  • Engineering Degree – BE/ME/BTech/MTech/BSc/MSc.

  • Technical certification in multiple technologies is desirable.

Skills: -

Mandatory skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related discipline from an accredited institution.

  • 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, analysis, and verification of structures, mechanisms, or assemblies in a medical or regulated product environment.

  • Knowledge of mechanical design practices, materials, and fabrication methods.

  • Working knowledge of system-level mechanical integration.

  • Proven ability to work effectively within cross-functional engineering teams.

  • Ability to work full-time on-site in Waukesha, WI.

Good to have skills

  • Experience using Creo or similar mechanical CAD tools.

  • Background in plastics design, electronics packaging, and cable design/management.

  • Experience with structural and/or thermal simulation and analysis.

  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

  • Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, fabrication, and measurement tools

Practice Questions

💡Technical Questions (3)
  • 1.How do you approach translating system and subsystem requirements into a detailed mechanical design for a regulated medical environment?
  • 2.Can you describe your process for executing structural and thermal simulations on a mechanical subsystem, and how you validate the results?
  • 3.When evaluating a high-cost component for a design-to-value initiative, what factors do you consider to reduce cost without compromising safety or reliability?
🎯Behavioral Questions (3)
  • 1.Tell me about a time you identified a significant technical risk during a design review and how you worked with cross-functional teams to mitigate it.
  • 2.Describe a situation where you had to resolve a complex technical issue with a supplier or manufacturing partner during the design readiness phase.
  • 3.Give an example of a time you successfully balanced multiple priorities, such as supporting an ongoing program while working on a cost-reduction redesign.
🧩Situational Questions (2)
  • 1.You discover that a mechanical design meets the performance requirements but fails the feasibility assessment for manufacturability. How do you handle this?
  • 2.You are tasked with standardizing a component across the MR product portfolio, but one program team is resistant because they feel their unique needs won't be met. How do you proceed?
