Please join us as:

Turn complex mechanical designs into proven, reliable implantable medical devices that patients can trust. In this role, you will join our Neuromodulation R& D team as a Staff Mechanical Verification Engineer, where you will play a critical role in verifying both sustaining and next-generation implantable products. You will own mechanical verification activities from test rationale through execution and reporting, working hands-on with implantable components in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment. You will design and execute informal development tests and formal verification testing, create custom test fixtures, and develop scalable test infrastructure to support growing product needs. Partnering closely with principal-level mechanical engineers, you will help drive design improvements, validate solutions, and shape verification strategies for new products from the ground up. This role gives you the opportunity to combine deep technical rigor with real-world impact, ensuring that innovative neuromodulation therapies meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance before reaching patients.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define mechanical verification test rationale in collaboration with product design and clinical teams

• Execute informal development tests and formal verification tests

• Define and track detailed test plans

• Define, architect, design and drive implementation of scalable test infrastructure

• Define, design and qualify custom test fixtures for informal and formal testing

• Architect and own a dashboard of test execution completion, issues encountered and resolutions

• Own execution, interpretation and reporting of mechanical verification results

• Support FMEA, failure analysis, tolerance analysis, gauge R& R in close collaboration with process, manufacturing and design teams

• Architect and execute design of experiments (DoE) and associated technical reports

• Perform statistical analysis on datasets to summarize results and concisely communicate to a management audience

• Manage external vendors for test fixture development, outsourced test execution and data collection and review vendor test reports and ensure compliance with requirements

• Stay up-to-update with the regulatory trends and technologies in medical product development (e.g., effect of EU regulation changes)

• Virtually attend frequent meetings with worldwide team

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 4+ years of mechanical design or verification in implantable medical device industry or similar high-reliability industry
