What are the responsibilities and job description for the MECHANICAL ENGINEER position at EHR Services?
EHR Services has partnered with Covaris, LLC to hire a Mechanical Engineer.
Summary : We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer with a strong engineering and design background to advance our core technologies for laboratory instruments. You will work on new product development and sustaining engineering projects in all stages, from concept to design to manufacturing. The goal is to innovate and excel in designing and manufacturing acoustics-based laboratory instruments.
Our instruments are complex systems with electromechanical, fluidic, thermal, optical, and acoustic sub-systems. Our plastic consumables must be engineered with tight tolerances for high performance in harsh acoustic environments. Fabrication methods range from machining to injection molding, depending on the components' functional requirements. We also develop hardware accessories to increase the level of laboratory automation for workflow solutions that include our AFA instruments.
You will work with other engineers and scientists to conceive, design, and release manufacturing instruments. Responsibilities include design, analysis, and testing to ensure products meet functional requirements.
Key Responsibilities :
- Work as an individual contributor and on cross-functional teams to conceive and design sophisticated ultrasound-based instrumentation and HW accessories for laboratory automation.
- Use SolidWorks to design mechanical components and assemblies for instrumentation and HW accessories.
- Using a combination of calculation, simulation (FEA, CFD), and experimentation, ensure that the product design meets all requirements (functional, cost, ergonomic, material compatibility, etc).
- Create DOEs and test plans and execute them to generate data for design evaluation and verification.
- Hold cross-functional design reviews, document designs (including mechanical component and assembly drawings and product specifications), test plans, verification reports, and other supporting documentation needed to fulfill process and change-order requirements.
- Manage external vendors to ensure high-quality, reproducible components delivered to design specifications.
- Execute engineering change orders in our eQMS system.
- Develop rapid prototypes via 3D printing, in-house machining, external rapid prototyping houses, etc., to iterate and optimize designs.
- Prepare reports and presentations for different levels (engineers to executive management).
- Participate in FMEA, risk assessments, and root cause analysis.
- Ensure designs align with applicable ANSI, ASME, and SBS standards.
- Up to 10% travel to vendors and for trade shows is required.
- Must be able to work in a laboratory setting and lift objects as heavy as 25 lbs.
- This is predominantly an on-site position in Woburn, MA.
- Occasional remote work is OK with supervisor approval.
