About this role
*Job Overview*
We pride ourselves on our proven track record in the design and manufacturing of custom large-scale assemblies. In recent years, we have expanded our expertise to include high-accuracy, electronically controlled small assemblies - delivering micron-level precision solutions tailored for OEMs. We are seeking a talented and motivated Intermediate Mechanical Engineer to join our team focused on pathology, diagnostic medical devices, and other manufacturing processes. The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, developing, and testing innovative mechanical solutions that support next-generation pathology instrumentation devices.
*Operational Responsibilities:*
* Lead the design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for medical devices, ensuring precision, reliability, and manufacturability. * Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and technical drawings in SolidWorks, maintaining compliance with engineering specifications and regulatory standards. * Estimate project costs and monitor project budgets to ensure financial targets are maintained throughout the project lifecycle. * Evaluate engineering requirements, including materials, dimensions, machining techniques, finishes, and process parameters, to ensure design feasibility and performance. * Perform engineering analysis such as tolerance stack-ups, FEA, and motion/kinematic studies to validate designs. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical systems with electronics, optics, motion control, and automation. * Generate and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), documentation, and engineering records to support development and production. * Drive prototyping efforts, including hands-on assembly, testing, and iterative design refinement. * Engage with suppliers to source precision components, assess manufacturability, and ensure quality for prototypes and production. * Facilitate the transfer of designs from R&D to manufacturing, incorporating design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles. * Plan and coordinate projects, including timelines, procurement, in-house labor, and vendor collaboration, to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery. * Support product development initiatives aligned with company strategy, including value engineering and process improvement to optimize cost, quality, and efficiency. * Oversee quality assurance throughout all project phases, from work-in-progress inspections to final product verification. * Provide technical guidance and support to shop personnel during assembly and testing. * Maintain accurate project documentation and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
*Health and Safety Responsibilities:*
* Ensure safe and healthy conditions exist for all employees. * Comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), Regulation 851 ? Industrial Establishments, and BSG?s Health & Safety policies. * Work in accordance with the Quality Management System ISO 9001:2015. * Ensure safe working conditions by using required protective equipment and following safe operating procedures.
*Qualifications:*
* Bachelor?s degree in mechanical engineering or related field * 3?6 years of experience in mechanical design engineering, preferably in the medical device, industrial automation, life sciences, or diagnostics industry * Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks) and PDM systems * Strong foundation in mechanical design, materials, precision machining, and manufacturing processes * Knowledge of CNC machining, welding principles, and 3D printing specifically SLA and FDM * Experience with motion systems, and optics integration is highly desirable * Familiarity with regulatory requirements for medical devices (ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 11/820) and Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001) * Hands-on experience with prototyping, mechanical testing, and lab instrumentation * Creative thinker and capable of leveraging AI tools to improve and automate design an
