We pride ourselves on our proven track record in the design and manufacturing of custom large-scale assemblies. In recent years, we have expanded our expertise to include high-accuracy, electronically controlled small assemblies - delivering micron-level precision solutions tailored for OEMs. We are seeking a talented and motivated Intermediate Mechanical Engineer to join our team focused on pathology, diagnostic medical devices, and other manufacturing processes. The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, developing, and testing innovative mechanical solutions that support next-generation pathology instrumentation devices. This position involves working in a multidisciplinary environment with scientists, electrical engineers, software developers, mechanical engineers, and clinical experts to bring advanced diagnostic tools from concept through commercialization.
Operational Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for medical devices, ensuring precision, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and technical drawings in SolidWorks, maintaining compliance with engineering specifications and regulatory standards.
- Estimate project costs and monitor project budgets to ensure financial targets are maintained throughout the project lifecycle.
- Evaluate engineering requirements, including materials, dimensions, machining techniques, finishes, and process parameters, to ensure design feasibility and performance.
- Perform engineering analysis such as tolerance stack-ups, FEA, and motion/kinematic studies to validate designs.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical systems with electronics, optics, motion control, and automation.
- Generate and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), documentation, and engineering records to support development and production.
- Drive prototyping efforts, including hands-on assembly, testing, and iterative design refinement.
- Engage with suppliers to source precision components, assess manufacturability, and ensure quality for prototypes and production.
- Facilitate the transfer of designs from R&D to manufacturing, incorporating design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles.
- Plan and coordinate projects, including timelines, procurement, in-house labor, and vendor collaboration, to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery.
- Support product development initiatives aligned with company strategy, including value engineering and process improvement to optimize cost, quality, and efficiency.
- Oversee quality assurance throughout all project phases, from work-in-progress inspections to final product verification.
- Provide technical guidance and support to shop personnel during assembly and testing.
- Maintain accurate project documentation and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
Health and Safety Responsibilities:
- Ensure safe and healthy conditions exist for all employees.
- Comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), Regulation 851 – Industrial Establishments, and BSG’s Health & Safety policies.
- Work in accordance with the Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015.
- Ensure safe working conditions by using required protective equipment and following safe operating procedures.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field
- 3–6 years of experience in mechanical design engineering, preferably in the medical device, industrial automation, life sciences, or diagnostics industry
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks) and PDM systems
- Strong foundation in mechanical design, materials, precision machining, and manufacturing processes
- Knowledge of CNC machining, welding principles, and 3D printing specifically SLA and FDM
- Experience with motion systems, and optics integration is highly desirable
- Familiarity with regulatory requirements for medical devices (ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 11/820) and Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001)
- Hands-on experience with prototyping, mechanical testing, and lab instrumentation
- Creative thinker and capable of leveraging AI tools to improve and automate design and manufacturing processes
- Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced R&D environment with cross-disciplinary collaboration
- Experience with automated systems, robotics, or laboratory instrumentation
