Mechanical Engineer III

Description:

 
 
 The Mechanical Engineer for Ultrasound Probes is responsible for the research and development, productization of mechanical design for Ultrasound Probes. 
 
 If by chance we get someone who is familiar with sterilization/disinfection of medical devices that would be good – no great. Primary role for this position will be to work with 3 other contractors (at different sites globally) to design a probe that can be submerged (i.e. in sterilized and cleaned) and hold up to the life cycle – 7 years. So, strong CAD experience and hopefully product reliability experience is what we are looking for. Materials is a plus and the familiarity with sterilization and disinfection/cleaning of medical device a plus (more like a needle in a hay stack) 
 
 The position works to identify and execute strategic quality engineering efforts in addition to driving cross-functional engagement of quality project initiatives. This role requires the interaction with production, service and design engineering teams in order to ensure the product quality goals set forth by the business. 
 
 
 Duties include (but are not limited to): 
 
 1. Developing innovative designs to meet all requirements for performance, reliability, service, cost and manufacturability 
 2. Leading design visualization efforts with 3D CAD models and essential component and assembly details to explore multiple design options 
 3. Developing engineering design concepts including tolerance analysis for components and electromechanical assemblies that have tough requirements for size, precision, reliability and cost 
 4. Developing and maintaining mechanical subsystem quality and engineering project funnel 
 5. Influencing cross-functional teams to implement quality actions 
 6. Driving reliability plan for mechanical design based on customer usability. Developing the transfer function between usability and reliability plan, executing and brining design improvements as needed. 
 7. Conducting analysis of installed base and new product reliability using FMEA, Weibull Analysis and DFR tools 
 8. Leading quality engineering projects that provide imaginative solutions to engineering and customer issues 
 9. Delivering improvements to customer focused metrics 
 10. Providing guidance and requirements to new product development teams in order to improve quality of new releases 
 
 
 Quality Specific Goals: 
 
 
 1. Aware of and comply with the GEHC Quality Manual, Quality Management System, Quality Management Policy, Quality Goals, and applicable laws and regulations as they apply to this job type/position 
 2. Complete all planned Quality & Compliance training within the defined deadlines 
 3. Identify and report any quality or compliance concerns and take immediate corrective action as required 
 4. Ensure compliance/closure of Regulatory and Quality requirements before approving Design Outputs/Program Deliverables 
 5. Lead continuous improvement activities by driving the implementation of process and product quality improvement initiatives 
 
 
 Qualifications: 
 
 1. BS in Mechanical Engineering with 8+ years of experience or Masters with 5+ years of experience 
 2. Experience in mechanical design, project engineering, familiar with plastic, sheet metal, die casting and rubber parts design and process 
 3. Expertise with CAD software (PTC Creo, SolidWorks, Autocad) ability to use advanced features for tolerance stackup analysis, proper requirements definition. 
 4. Experience with full product cycle from concept to stable production. 
 5. Experience with reliability testing with Weibull Analysis and other Design for Reliability tools will be better 
 6. Demonstrated program/project planning capability 
 7. Demonstrated project leadership and influencing skills 
 8. Strong interpersonal and communication skills 
 
 
 Preferred Qualifications: 
 
 1. MS with 8+ years of experience in a technology field 
 2. Demonstrated capabilities in thermal and mechanical simulation 
 3. Design for manufacturing experience 
 4. Experience with Medical device industry 
 5. Six Sigma green belt or black-belt certification.
