This position will collaborate with a cross functional team of engineers and scientists in support of thermal management, ingress protection, EMI isolation, and shock/vibration control per defined product goals. The team member is also expected to apply good design practices, procedures, and design criteria in the development of assemblies and subsystems. The role is primarily technical in nature but may include limited project management duties.

Essential Functions:

• Layout and develop new product designs.  
• Complete engineering mechanics analysis, thermal/flow analysis, and tolerance analysis.
• Complete design refinement to support Design for Manufacture and Assembly objectives.
• Create detailed design documentation of new and revised products including part drawings, assembly documents, Bills of Materials, and purchasing specifications.
• Create Engineering Change Orders to enable control and release of designs to production under the ZOLL Quality System.  
• Support document preparation for test and regulatory submission of new/existing designs.  
• Support development of risk assessments and FMEA for creation of the design history file.
• Lead and participate in technical design reviews for new or revised products and other projects as assigned.
• Present new designs to suppliers and evaluate samples and prototypes for build and test.  
• Conduct part, subsystem, and system verification and validation testing of new designs complete with supporting documentation.
• Conduct design of experiments and laboratory testing of new and legacy products and document results.
• Support management in preparation of schedule, budget and project reporting.

Skills Requirements:

• Proficiency with SolidWorks including Design, Drawing, and PDM. CSWP preferred.
• Working knowledge of GD&T and drawing creation per ASME Y14.5 2009 or later.
• Ability to design, document and analyze parts encountered in packaging of embedded systems (such as molded plastic housings, sheet metal, gaskets, PCBs, LCDs, cables and labels).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work with minimal oversight, i.e. “self-motivated”.
• Ability to handle confidential information with discretion and skill.
• A demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement of job-related skills.
• Molded plastic part design, injection mold design, and materials knowledge including qualification and specification is required.
• Ability to design enclosures and assemblies to pass mechanical testing including shock/vibration, water ingress, and impact is required.
• Experience designing for IEC 60601 testing is a plus.
• Experience with SolidWorks Simulation and Structural/Thermal/Flow modeling and analysis is a plus.
• Experience utilizing Minitab for Design of Experiments analysis is a plus.
• Experience using and programming vision systems for automated part measuring and inspection is a plus.

Required/Preferred Education and Experience:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent. MS degree preferred.
• Requires a minimum of 6 years Mechanical Engineering and product design experience.
• Experience in medical or other highly regulated industry is strongly desired.
