Join us today and make a difference in people's lives! We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to design and verify products and solutions for a wide range of Cardiopulmonary (CP) disposable and mechanical products throughout the entire product lifecycle, from new product development to maintenance.
This role involves using simulation tools and testing to define and execute appropriate test protocols. The engineer will ensure that manufactured parts meet design specifications, documenting results in First Article Inspection (FAI) reports and driving corrective actions for any deviations, such as suggesting adjustments to manufacturing processes or changing specifications.
This role is based at our site in Mirandola (MO), with the possibility of a hybrid work model after the initial probation period.
Duties and Responsibilities The Senior Mechanical Engineer:
is responsible of product design; transforms ideas into concept design; understands and correctly translates product requirements into design; defines technical solutions for new products design and to sustain existing products lifecycle; applies and constantly improves knowledge of technology; is responsible for self technical skills development, in collaboration with the functional manager; cooperates to the technical feasibility for products and subsystems, as well as to the investigation of product issues to identify root causes; openly discusses diverse inputs for product development and technical design reviews; contributes to the project strategy when product decisions are required. During the Design and development phase, He/She will:
Deliver solutions that meets the specifications; He will be a proactive sparring partner for the Therapy, Design and Prototyping Engineers, challenging design decisions where appropriate; Design the subsystem that meets the required specifications. Share and explain the technical decisions that are at the core of the design; Apply design changes; Verify FAI, ensuring that parts meet specifications with an acceptable level of process capability, highlighting eventual deviations; Use virtual prototyping and simulation tools to verify the designed solution; Support Prototyping Engineers during the realization of physical prototypes and pre-series; Define test protocols to verify the mechanical performances for the designed subsystem; Analyze the results, and interprets these; Performs accurate device autopsy to clearly identify and analyse product and process issues; Identify, propose and select different solutions to resolve issues. After Product Launch, he/she will:
Support the Design Engineers in the design of Product Changes; Perform Mold Flow Analysis, Structural Analysis, stress and deformation analysis, finite element analysis Assess mechanical deviations from specs; The Individual Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering (Mechanical); Proven experience in a similar role, preferably in medical devices design and disposables manufacturing. Proficiency in CAD specializations: CREO Windchill trong expertise in molding simulations (e.g., Modlex, Mold Flow), FEM, and CFD analysis. Knowledge of ISO 13486 is a nice to have.
