Senior Staff R&D Systems Engineer- Electro-Mechanical & Fluidic Systems

Stryker • Irvine, CA • 1h ago

As a Senior Staff R&D Systems Engineer , you will serve as a leading member of the R&D team for our next-generation vascular thrombectomy platforms. This role bridges advanced medical device hardware with high-performance digital ecosystems. You will lead cross-functional project teams through the entire product development lifecycle-independently researching, prototyping, and testing complex fluidic components and electro-mechanical control systems. Additionally, you will actively shape broader R&D organizational initiatives and cross-functional product strategy.

What You Will Do

Architect and develop closed-loop fluid control systems driven by real-time sensor feedback and integrated data acquisition architectures.

Utilize expert-level CAD/CAE tools to model complex mechanical, fluidic, and electro-mechanical components, producing detailed engineering drawings.

Specify functional requirements and evaluate final designs for overall effectiveness, lifecycle cost, system reliability, and clinical safety.

Build robust data acquisition frameworks to capture and analyze high-frequency sensor data during R&D testing.

Design and lead automated validation and verification (V&V) testing infrastructures, including custom fixture development using LabVIEW or Python.

Lead the physical assembly, bring-up, and stress-testing of complex R&D proto@types.

Work alongside R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Clinical teams to ensure design excellence and optimize components for manufacturing.

Drive the seamless transition of New Product Development (NPD) projects into high-volume manufacturing environments.

Maintain strict adherence to medical device design controls, risk management, and regulatory frameworks (Class II and Class III).

Act as a technical mentor across the division, establishing best engineering practices and identifying process improvement opportunities.

What You Need (Required Qualifications)

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a highly related technical discipline.

6+ years of direct work experience as a systems engineer in the development of Class II and Class III medical devices.

Proven track record leading medical device prototyping, verification testing, and cross-functional product strategies.

Experience with SolidWorks for complex component modeling and detailed manufacturing drawings.

Practical knowledge of closed-loop fluid systems, real-time sensor feedback loops, and data analytics.

Familiarity with medical device design controls, risk management frameworks, and strict industry compliance standards.

Preferred Qualifications

Project experience applying computational fluid dynamics (CFD) concepts and simulation tools.

Advanced hands-on experience with automated testing platforms using LabVIEW or Python.

Proven leadership in V&V test automation, custom test fixture development, and NPD design transfer to production.

Successful, on-time completion of design transfers from R&D to active manufacturing lines.

Precision performance of closed-loop sensor feedback arrays under high-stress fluid dynamics.

Increased percentage of automated V&V test cycles, reducing manual proto@type testing overhead.
