Develop and review 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, GD&T, and BOMs.

Ensure proper integration of motors, sensors, PCBs, batteries, power supplies, connectors, and cabling within mechanical assemblies.

Execute development activities in compliance with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820, ISO 14971, and applicable IEC standards.

Ensure completeness and quality of Design History File (DHF) documentation.

Lead and participate in risk management activities (dFMEA, pFMEA, hazard analysis) with cross functional teams.

Support design changes through formal ECO/ECN processes.

Define mechanical verification strategies and support DVT, EVT, and V&V testing.

Investigate and resolve failures observed during testing, manufacturing, or field feedback.

Lead application of DFM/DFA principles for manufacturing processes.

Work closely with suppliers and contract manufacturers on tooling, materials, processes, and yield improvement.

Support FAI, PPAP, pilot builds, and design transfer to manufacturing.

Drive resolution of manufacturing issues, NCRs, and deviations related to mechanical design.

Collaborate with electronics, software, systems, quality, regulatory, and supply chain teams.

Lead and participate in design reviews, technical discussions, and customer walkthroughs.

Guide and perform engineering analyses including tolerance stack ups (hand calculations and FEA).
