Mechanical Engineer

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 prototype 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
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the desire to work in a collaborative environment
• Ability to communicate technically with a variety of engineering disciplines
