About the role
DEKA Research and Development, housed in Manchester, NH, is looking for a mechanical design engineer to participate in the development of innovative medical devices. They will work as part of a team driving products through their lifecycle including concept generation, prototyping, component and assembly development, testing, and associated documentation. The candidate is expected to be able to manage multiple sub-assembly designs simultaneously, with a reasonable level of guidance and support. 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 as a Junior Mechanical Engineer: * 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 * Technical review and approval for 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: * Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering * 5+ years' experience with mechanical design for manufacturability in a high precision/high volume manufacturing environment (medical preferred) * Some experience with electro-mechanical devices with embedded software preferred * Familiarity with: * Plastic injection molding preferred * Die casting preferred * Metal injection molding a plus * Organizational and coordination skills with a detail-oriented mindset and ability to juggle multiple activities * High energy, drive, commitment, self-initiative, and perseverance to drive projects forward to completion * Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the desire to work in a collaborative environment * Ability to communicate technically with a variety of engineering disciplines
