Mechanical Design Engineer 3

Proficiency using 3D CAD to design parts and assemblies and to create specification drawings in a PDM environment; SolidWorks preferred.

Fluency in ASME Y14.5 GD&T and tolerance stack analysis.

Demonstrated knowledge of a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including high-volume fabrication methods such as plastic injection molding, metal-injection molding, stamping, metal casting, sheet metal.

Demonstrated ability to efficiently collect and analyze data, turn it into a compelling story to explain what the data is telling, and write an ending to that story which provides a path to improving patient outcomes, surgeon experience, and business performance.

Comfortable using analysis software, and able to learn new software or equipment quickly and thoroughly.

Experience with Finite Element Simulation (FEM, FEA, CFD, Multiphysics, etc.) tools to design mechanical assemblies

The Da Vinci Surgical System continues to advance the state of the art in Minimally Invasive Surgery.

We seek a Mechanical Design Engineer who will be a partner in architecture, development, testing and transfer from conceptualization through to launch as part of the Da Vinci Vision Hardware R&D design engineering team.

This role will involve design contributions to component and system-level designs of high-performance illumination systems and applications.

They are expected to use engineering and analytical skills to conceptualize, develop, and verify new mechanical, electro-mechanical interfaces and opto-mechanical designs.

They are responsible for key system components and will interface with internal technical resources (example EE, SW, Mfg) and external suppliers using clear communication and strong interpersonal skills to build high-quality prototypes and productize new designs.

Develop, design, own and maintain models of mechanical components and assemblies and produce mechanical drawings in a government regulated environment for volume manufacturing processes.

It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at
