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 prototypes
  • 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 prototypes 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 prototypes 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.
