• Responsibilities, skills, and behaviors that an engineer should expect to experience or express in this role include:
• Gain understanding of customer needs through literature review, observing customer interviews, direct observation, competitive analysis, prototype evaluation, and clinical/simulated use studies.
• Ideate new concepts and product solutions based on identified customer needs.
• Translate customer needs into specific engineering requirements.
• Defining tasks, timeline and required resources to deliver on the mechanical design portion of a project brief, with strong accountability for successful completion of agreed upon deliverables.
• Demonstrated expertise in CAD modeling (preferably SolidWorks) with a passion for solving complex mechanical problems with (seemingly) simple mechanical designs.
• Desire to build proof-of-principle prototypes by “getting your hands dirty? and using basic machining equipment, hand-held tools, and creative unconventional techniques.
• Demonstrated creation of new concepts and/or Intellectual Property (IP) as well as understanding of Intellectual Property with elements of offensive and defensive design.
• Demonstrated expertise in creating component and assembly drawings that utilize traditional tolerancing and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) as appropriate.
• Places importance on design for usability, molding, assembly, and scalability for high volume production.
• Desire to select, collaborate with, and manage internal and external partners to create component parts and/or assemblies using the following techniques:
• Injection Molding
• Metal Stamping and Bending
• Machining (CNC, lathe, drill press, etc.)
