Job Title: R&D Senior Robotic Engineer

Job Location: 275 Grove Street, Newton, MA 02466

Pay Rate: $75-80/HR on W2

Duration: 12+ months (Possibility of extension)

Shift Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Job Description:

We are currently looking for an ambitious R&D Senior Robotics Engineer to join our Endovascular Robotics business within Advanced Therapies.

We are a global technology leader in robotic-assisted vascular interventions.

We believe the combination of endovascular robotics, image guidance and dedicated devices will change the way neurovascular procedures will be done in the future, enabling better outcomes, and enabling our customers to provide better access to care.

As a R&D Senior Robotics Engineer you will be responsible for:

Develop the complex electromechanical systems of the next generation robotic platform.

Apply advanced analytical methodologies including mathematical/numerical modeling and simulations to design, development, and optimization of state-of-the-art mechanical systems.

Utilize mechanical engineering design principles of capital equipment and mechanisms combined with application of static, dynamic, and kinematic analyses.

Design and develop mechanical sub-systems including concepts generation, CAD design, analyses, documentation, verification, and Design for Manufacturing & Assembly, and Design for Reliability for current and new products.

Perform forward and inverse kinematics, finite element analysis of components and assemblies, 3D tolerance analysis, different types of modeling using Simulink, Simscape, or MATLAB programming.

Participate in hands-on activities including engineering tests and characterizations.

Post process the corresponding test results using mechanical engineering principals and statistical theories.

Implement best practices in design methodologies, development processes, and tools.

Scout new tools and techniques, internalize, and train others.

Plan, develop, and coordinate different trainings as needed.

Document the process, design description, test protocols, and test reports.

This position may suit you best if you are familiar with what is below, and would like to do develop your career with Healthineers:

You are able to apply advanced analytical and problem-solving methodologies including mathematical modeling, simulations and control theories to design, development, and optimization of the state-of-the-art complex mechanical systems.

You are experienced in mechanical engineering design principles of capital equipment and modeling such systems using statics, dynamics, kinematics, and vibration analyses in different phases of product life cycle.

You must be highly proficient with current development tools, software, practices, and processes.

Required skills to have for the success of this role:

PhD in mechanical engineering or mechatronics or closely related fields (preferably with research background in the field of medical device).

Outstanding academic background with a demonstrated record for high-impact research is required.

A minimum of 8 years hands on product development experience (mechanical-machine design) is required. Experience in medical robotics is highly desired.

Programming skills and experience using analytical and simulation tools including:

MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, SolidWorks CAD modeling, SolidWorks SIM, and SolidWorks Motion Analysis, CETOL,

FEA analysis (e.g., ANSYS), Tolerance, and Statistical analysis tools,

LabVIEW, experience with sensors and DAQ systems.

Eager to learn new tools and techniques and train others.

Experience with motion control, and applied control theories are highly desired.

Strong communication and presentation skills required.

Experience Requirements:

A couple of years of field experience with a PhD and experience building a prototype.

Alternatively, 8+ years of experience with a Master’s degree with thesis

Soft Skills:

Strong communication and presentation skills. (will need to do a presentation during interview)

Ability to work effectively in a team of 4 and collaborate with other teams.

Education Requirements:

Highly recommended: PhD.

Alternatively: Master’s degree with field experience.

Interview stages:

First interview: Conducted on Teams.

Second interview: Teams interview with the management team.

Third interview: Onsite.

Top Skills Needed:

1. Solid understanding and utilization of mechanical engineering design principles.

2. Proficiency in at least 2 software skills and willing to learn the others.

3. Knowledge of dynamic forward kinematics.

4. Strong problem-solving abilities.

5. Experience with 3D tolerance analysis.

6. Background in building (physical) prototypes.

Note: Software experience alone is not acceptable.

Additionally:

- It will take months of training (close to 6 months).

- Candidate will need to perform deep thinking/analysis of the design, not CAD or design. Also will need to be able to figure out what type of analysis is needed.

- Mechanical device experience or skills transferable from automotive, drive train experience, etc.

- Candidate will be working with Endovascular robotics.
