• Design, develop, and validate, devices and systems with a view to improving patient outcomes and enhancing healthcare delivery.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineers, physicians, and clinical professionals, to understand customer needs and create innovative solutions.
• Lead and execute mechanical product development from concept through to high-quality manufacturing processes.
• Create and maintain rigorous documentation of the design process, develop product specifications, test specifications, and test procedures to ensure that the products comply with the design control process as defined the company’s regulatory strategy and QMS (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA, Health Canada, 510k).
• Conduct design reviews, design verification testing, and risk analysis (DFMEA) to ensure new designs meet performance and safety requirements.
• Generate working prototypes for beta testing and customer demonstrations.
• Provide technical guidance to engineers on the project.
• Qualify and select suppliers.
• Prepare manufacturing documentation package for production.
• Conduct quality control and quality assurance on manufactured goods, incoming and outgoing.

Education
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or related field.

Qualifications
• 5+ years of experience with product design, development and manufacturing in a regulated field, e.g., medical device industry or a related field (pure academia will not suffice).
• Strong knowledge of medical device development, design controls, and regulatory requirements.
• In-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes: injection molding, machining, additive manufacturing.
• Broad experience in the development of embedded electronic devices, covering RF, EMC, EMI Shielding and Thermal Management.
• Experience with designing and manufacturing small parts within complex assemblies.
• CAD SolidWorks, 3DEXPERIENCE, Rhino and grasshopper.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (French is a strong asset).
• Efficient presentation and visual communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.

Depending on the daily tasks to be performed, working from home may be possible. However, as we often need laboratory equipment and great collaboration between the R&D teams is essential, the hardware designer must be able to come to the office with short notice if necessary. If you are meticulous, a problem solver, and a team player, you will feel right at home. Please send your cover letter and resume to jobs@eers.ca OR submit them through our EERS Career platform.
