Mechanical Engineer
Design the hardware our navigation system depends on: the arrays, trackers, and clamps that tie the patient to the plan, and the workstations that bring it into the OR.
Medivis builds the surgical navigation platform that puts the plan on the patient, in the surgeon's view. Design the hardware our navigation system depends on: the arrays, trackers, and clamps that tie the patient to the plan, and the workstations that bring it into the OR.
What you will build
Instruments and disposables for navigation: registration arrays, tracked instruments, clamps, and reference frames. Alongside them, the capital hardware that brings navigation into the room: workstations, articulating arms, camera mounts and carts. Each part goes from concept through prototyping, testing, refinement, verification, and release under design controls.
What you will do
- Design instruments, disposables, workstations, and accessories in SolidWorks, from first concept to released drawing.
- Prototype and iterate in-house, gathering and distilling feedback from the entire team.
- Plan and run verification: identify the necessary testing, create the fixtures to do it, and report back on results.
- Support existing parts in production and continually improve designs.
- Work side by side with software, operations, and manufacturing teams to optimize designs and processes.
- Occasionally join our clinical team in the lab and in cases, and turn what you see into requirements.
What you bring
- Two or more years of medical device design experience.
- Strong SolidWorks skills: parts, assemblies, detailed drawings.
- Comfortable working collaboratively on projects at any stage between prototyping and production at volume: you raise issues early, welcome review, and act on feedback.
- Clear communication, whether it’s within the team or external to the company.
- Care with the details, no matter how small.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with designing under a medical device quality system (ISO 13485).
- DFM skills in a variety of areas (injection molding, CNC machining, 3D printing, etc.).
- Experience working with overseas manufacturers.
- Prior work with ECNs and work instructions.
How we work
A small team of clinicians, engineers, and designers in New York. Mechanical, software, and clinical work happens in the same room, so your designs are seen early by the people who will build, test, and support them. We review each other's work, ask for help early, and share what we learn.
