• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum of 6 years of relevant industry experience in life science instrumentation or diagnostic/medical device development
• Demonstrated abilities in the design and development of life science instruments or diagnostic devices
• Must have experience in at least three of the following areas, preferably in the context of life science/biotech/biomedical device development:

• • • Design of mechanisms such as drawers, lids, clamps, and grippers that utilize linkages, gears, racks/pinions, slides, bearings, bushings, springs, and cams
    • Design of motion control systems using stepper and BLDC motors, linear actuators, belt drives, and ball-screw drives
    • Creation of micro-fluidic, fluidic, and pneumatic system designs utilizing pumps, valves, accumulators, regulators, pressure sensors, flow meters, and manifolds
    • Design of thermal systems utilizing TECs and resistive heaters and thermistors/thermocouples/RTDs
    • Integration of optical systems such as light sources (lasers, LEDs), objectives, lenses, filters, mirrors, detectors (CMOS/CCD/MPPC/PMT), and auto-focusing systems
• Demonstrated success working in multidisciplinary team environments
• Proficiency with 3D CAD, preferably SolidWorks for 3D modeling, 2D drawings, and FEA/CFD simulations
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, and PowerPoint
• An understanding of necessary design control under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485
• Experience with rapid prototyping tools such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC machining
• Experience with shop tools such as drill presses, band/table/miter saws, lathes, and tap wrenches
• Knowledge of test and measurement equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, force/temperature/pressure gauges, calipers, micrometers, dial indicators.

• What you will get
• Comprehensive Compensation and Benefits package
• Progressive employment conditions
• Exciting career opportunities
