Mechanical Engineer

DEKA Research and Development, housed in Manchester, NH, is looking for a mechanical design engineer to participate in the development of innovative medical devices. They will work as part of a team driving products through their lifecycle including concept generation, prototyping, component and assembly development, testing, and associated documentation. The candidate is expected to be able to manage multiple sub-assembly designs simultaneously, with a reasonable level of guidance and support.

The candidate must have excellent problem solving and analytical skills and be able to learn quickly in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. How you will make an impact as a Junior Mechanical Engineer:

Generate creative solutions to design problems and demonstrate their viability considering factors such as risk, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, weight and cost Transition concepts into products using 3D CAD Solid Modeling, defining requirements, selecting materials and processes, interacting with suppliers and manufacturers, and documenting the development process Troubleshoot design failure modes to root cause and develop quick, effective solutions Coordinate with others in a multi-disciplinary team environment including electrical, software, industrial design, and controls Evaluate designs through prototype testing and requirement verification Technical review and approval for all mechanical component and assembly designs, analysis, and testing Set an excellent example of mechanical engineering practices and provide a level of mentorship to less knowledgeable engineers.

To be successful in this role you will need the following skills and experience: Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering 5+ years' experience with mechanical design for manufacturability in a high precision/high volume manufacturing environment (medical preferred) Some experience with electro-mechanical devices with embedded software preferred Familiarity with:

Plastic injection molding preferred Die casting preferred Metal injection molding a plus Organizational and coordination skills with a detail-oriented mindset and ability to juggle multiple activities High energy, drive, commitment, self-initiative, and perseverance to drive projects forward to completion Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the desire to work in a collaborative environment Ability to communicate technically with a variety of engineering disciplines
