ABOUT THE ROLE

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will collaborate with the broader development team to complete NPD, sustaining or continuous improvement projects. Responsibilities involve applying engineering standards, technical experience, and industry knowledge to craft and develop components, mechanisms, systems, and finished products or equipment. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will contribute to system/sub-system development, requirements generation, test method development and communication of results through written reports, design reviews and technical discussions. They are self-motivated and responsible for exercising sound judgment and applying systems thinking, problem-solving, and troubleshooting to generate technical solutions to key problem statements.
The Senior Mechanical Engineer is a key member of the mechanical team, with responsibilities to work effectively with the broader cross-functional development team to progress project activities. They own and are responsible for the delivery of key elements/sub-systems of the mechanical product.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES WILL INCLUDE:

• Working as part of the Mechanical R&D Engineering team to design and develop multi-disciplinary (mechanical, electrical, and fluidic) products for medical and life science applications.
• Plan, coordinate, design, and analyse data of technical experiments at all stages of development including design of experiments activities for characterization, prototype testing, and qualification.
• Engage with domain experts to integrate subsystems and verify device designs.
• Support risk management activities such as Failure Modes Effects Analysis.
• Support the efforts to create system/sub-system requirements, design specifications, and test methods for the new products.
• Work with internal collaborators such as service and manufacturing on an ongoing basis during the development and product enhancement stages to ensure manufacturability and serviceability of design solutions.
• Utilise Design for Six Sigma tools as appropriate to enhance the product design, ensure statistical significance of testing and data generated and drive concept selection in a structured and communicative way.
• Design and produce manufacturing drawings of complex electromechanical instrumentation and test fixtures.
• Ability to plan and execute own work independently and provide guidance and technical support to more junior Mechanical team members.
