Job Title: Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer - Medical Imaging (Dental)

Immediate Interviews | Hiring This Week | Entry-Level (1+ Year Experience)

Ready to engineer products that improve patient care and push medical imaging forward? We're hiring a Mechanical Engineer to join a fast-moving R&D team developing cutting-edge dental imaging systems-and we're interviewing right now.

This is a hands-on, design-focused role where your SolidWorks skills, electro-mechanical mindset, and curiosity will directly impact products used by dental professionals worldwide.

What You'll Be Building

You'll design and develop advanced medical imaging products from concept through production-integrating mechanics, optics, and electronics into fully functional, FDA-compliant systems.

This is not a maintenance or support role. You'll be:

Creating real products

Building and testing proto@types

Working side-by-side with R&D and manufacturing

Seeing your designs go into production

What You'll Do

Design and document electro-mechanical medical devices in compliance with ISO & FDA regulations

Develop products from early concept through serial production

Create detailed 3D CAD models and drawings in SolidWorks (ANSI standards)

Integrate mechanical, optical, and electronic components

Build, test, and refine proto@types based on real data and feedback

Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to ensure cost-effective, scalable designs

Support verification, validation, and manufacturing transfer

Collaborate with European R&D teams and key external suppliers

Contribute to packaging, casting, and enclosure design

Support optical and laser-related mechanical design

Actively participate in cost optimization without sacrificing quality or compliance

What We're Looking For (Entry-Level Friendly)

BS in Mechanical Engineering

1+ year of hands-on experience (full-time, internship, or co-op acceptable)

Strong SolidWorks skills (3D modeling & drawings)

Working knowledge of electro-mechanical design

Understanding of fluid dynamics

Familiarity with DFM principles

Exposure to medical devices or regulated industries is a plus-but not required

Comfortable working with proto@types and manufacturing teams

Clear communicator with strong attention to detail

Willingness to travel internationally on occasion

Motivated, proactive, and excited to grow

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have)

Experience with optics or laser-based systems

Background in casting, housing, or packaging design

Prior experience supporting products through full life cycle

Collaboration with international engineering teams

Work Environment

Modern, recently renovated facility

Quiet, focused engineering workspace

Hands-on access to labs, testing, and production areas

Collaborative, growth-focused engineering culture

You'll enjoy a balance of deep design focus and real-world product interaction, surrounded by engineers who care about quality, innovation, and impact.
