Job Summary

We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a strong engineering and design background to advance our core technologies for laboratory instruments and consumables. You will work on new product development and sustaining engineering projects in all stages, from concept to design to manufacturing. The goal is to innovate and excel in designing and manufacturing acoustics-based laboratory instruments and the interfacing products used for sample treatment.

Our instruments are complex systems with electromechanical, fluidic, thermal, optical, and acoustic sub-systems. Our plastic consumables must be engineered with tight tolerances for high performance in harsh acoustic environments. Fabrication methods range from machining to injection molding, depending on the components' functional requirements. We also develop hardware accessories to increase the level of laboratory automation for workflow solutions that include our AFA instruments.

You will work with other engineers and scientists to conceive, design, and release manufacturing instruments. Responsibilities include design, analysis, and testing to ensure products meet functional requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Work as an individual contributor and on cross-functional teams to conceive and design sophisticated ultrasound-based instrumentation and HW accessories for laboratory automation.
  • Use SolidWorks to design mechanical components and assemblies for instrumentation and HW accessories.
  • Using a combination of calculation, simulation (FEA, CFD), and experimentation, ensure that the product design meets all requirements (functional, cost, ergonomic, material compatibility, etc).
  • Create DOEs and test plans and execute them to generate data for design evaluation and verification.
  • Hold cross-functional design reviews, document designs (including mechanical component and assembly drawings and product specifications), test plans, verification reports, and other supporting documentation needed to fulfill process and change-order requirements.
  • Manage external vendors to ensure high-quality, reproducible components delivered to design specifications.
  • Execute engineering change orders in our eQMS system.
  • Develop rapid prototypes via 3D printing, in-house machining, external rapid prototyping houses, etc., to iterate and optimize designs.
  • Prepare reports and presentations for different levels (engineers to executive management).
  • Participate in FMEA, risk assessments, and root cause analysis.
  • Ensure designs align with applicable ANSI, ASME, and SBS standards.
  • Up to 10% travel to vendors and for trade shows is required.
  • Must be able to work in a laboratory setting and lift objects as heavy as 25 lbs.
  • This is predominantly an on-site position in Woburn, MA.
  • Occasional remote work is OK with supervisor approval.

Qualifications

  • A bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent with 5+ years of product development experience or a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering with 3+ years of experience.
  • Sketch-based CAD modeling experience in PLM / database file management systems.
  • Familiarity with mechanical drawing best practices using ASME & ANSI standards.
  • Experience with GD&T and tolerance analysis for assemblies and interfaces.
  • Experience with mid-high complexity electromechanical assemblies.
  • Experience with Quality Control processes and familiarity with ISO 9001.
  • Experience with precision machined parts, molded parts, ceramic components, etc.
  • Expertise with Microsoft Office - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook.
  • Excellent communication skills - written, verbal, and presentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Proficiency with 3D printing and standard commercially available printers and techniques.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
