Senior Mechanical Engineer
Work effectively as a dedicated team member in a joint development team including overseas engineers to develop new products for China and European or US markets. Develop and analyze design concepts according to given systems or module specifications. Design for ease of manufacture and service. Generation of mechanical design documents and technical drawings for medical products. Conduct design verifications and design reviews. This can include basic thermal and stress calculations etc. as well as the checking of drawings for conformity with drawing standards, for technical consistency and for safety. Providing necessary technical documents and information for the development process to the Quality Assurance responsible in a development project. Define of critical dimensions and participate in creating design verification test plans and first article inspection plans (critical dimensions). The scope of design jobs is including designs for products as well as for test equipment, prototypes and assembly- and adjustment equipment for these products. Participate in prototype assembly, verification testing, troubleshooting. Consulting function during the Design Transfer and production ramp-up phase of the development project. Generate module- and system validation plans together with project partners in development projects. Perform/Support endurance tests, definition of life cycles and realize them in products. Definition of adequate qualification procedures together with application specialists. Design-maintenance of modules and components of future systems. Other duties, as assigned.
A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field with a minimum of 8 years working experience in Mechanical Design, preferably in the field of optical instruments or medical devices. An advanced degree, such as a Master’s Degree is advantageous and 5 years working experience in Mechanical Design is needed.
