DEKA Research and Development, housed in Manchester, NH, is looking for a mechanical design engineer to participate in the development of innovative medical devices. They will work as part of a team driving products through their lifecycle including concept generation, prototyping, component and assembly development, testing, and associated documentation. The candidate is expected to be able to manage multiple sub-assembly designs simultaneously, with a reasonable level of guidance and support. The candidate must have excellent problem solving and analytical skills and be able to learn quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

How you will make an impact as a Mechanical Engineer:

Generate creative solutions to design problems and demonstrate their viability considering factors such as risk, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, weight and cost

Transition concepts into products using 3D CAD Solid Modeling, defining requirements, selecting materials and processes, interacting with suppliers and manufacturers, and documenting the development process

Troubleshoot design failure modes to root cause and develop quick, effective solutions

Coordinate with others in a multi-disciplinary team environment including electrical, software, industrial design, and controls

Evaluate designs through proto@type testing and requirement verification

Technical review and approval for all mechanical component and assembly designs, analysis, and testing

Set an excellent example of mechanical engineering practices and provide a level of mentorship to less knowledgeable engineers.

To be successful in this role you will need the following skills and experience:

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering

5+ years' experience with mechanical design for manufacturability in a high precision/high volume manufacturing environment (medical preferred)

Some experience with electro-mechanical devices with embedded software preferred

Familiarity with:

Plastic injection molding preferred

Die casting preferred

Metal injection molding a plus

Organizational and coordination skills with a detail-oriented mindset and ability to juggle multiple activities

High energy, drive, commitment, self-initiative, and perseverance to drive projects forward to completion
