Senior Mechanical Engineer

DEKA Research & Development, located in Manchester, NH, is seeking an experienced mechanical design engineer to participate in the development of innovative medical devices. This person will work as part of a team driving products through their life cycle including concept generation, prototyping, component and assembly development, testing, and associated documentation. The candidate is expected to be very self-sufficient in handling multiple sub-assembly designs simultaneously, requiring a very low level of guidance. 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:

• 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
• Review and approve 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:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering required
• 10+ years' experience designing electromechanical products
• Demonstrated experience designing parts using a variety of manufacturing methods such as machining, welding, injection molding, forming, forging, and casting
• Proficient user of SolidWorks or other comparable CAD software
• Surfacing experience a plus
• Must have experience producing engineering drawings and fundamental GD&T knowledge
• Must have experience with finite element analysis and tolerance analysis
• Must have experience taking 4+ projects from design to production and the ability to describe personal contributions to each of the products
• Experience designing medical equipment a plus
• Experience designing dynamic systems with electro-mechanical devices a plus
• Must be able to work in an open group environment
