Job Description
Primary Function of Position:
This candidate will support the design and testing of next generation robotic flexible instruments.
Essential Job Duties:
- Design new instrument components, using knowledge and experience to select the optimal material and process (metal vs. plastic, molded vs. extruded vs. MIM vs. formed, etc.).
- Develop test methods, fixtures, and measurement tools to evaluate the performance of robotic catheters and sub-assemblies.
- Benchmark existing designs and compare candidate designs.
- Present your findings to design engineering, clinical, and manufacturing, and make recommendations for design iterations.
- Work with clinical engineering and manufacturing to understand key drivers of product performance, durability, and ease of assembly.
- Investigate and determine root cause of emerging design or manufacturing defects.
- Help define engineering requirements and ensure candidate designs are backed by robust data prior to design freeze.
- Complete detailed drawings and robust tolerance analysis and update designs accordingly.
- Support process development engineering activities.
- Mentor and guide younger engineers about best practices in design and engineering.
