We are seeking experienced Mechanical Engineers who have a few years and multiple electromechanical product designs under their belt. In this role you will use your design experience to create concepts, evaluate feasibility, contribute to technical project planning, and ultimately design, test, and launch products that make the world a better place!

At Engenious, Mechanical Engineers are instrumental technical experts who bring comprehensive knowledge of mechanical engineering to a fast-paced,  cross-functional design team. They easily collaborate with Industrial Designers, Electrical Engineers, fellow ME’s, and other project team members. They quickly apply engineering fundamentals to design challenges and tradeoffs, can quickly transform a napkin sketch into an injection-molded enclosure or translate a challenging medical procedure description into a 3D printed mechanism.

A flexible team member with an ability to shift from sprinter to perfectionist to suit the situation. Through it all, they aren’t afraid of getting their hands dirty in the shop fabricating prototypes and testing designs – this person could give Mark Rober or Adam Savage a run for their money!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Dream up new product concepts, working closely with industrial designers, electrical engineers, prototype model makers, technicians, and others. 
• Lead explorations of new product concepts and manage design tradeoffs, evaluating fabrication feasibility, risk, development time, cost, and product functionality.
• Lead detail design of complex electromechanical products, including mechanisms, motion and fluid control systems, and device enclosures.
• Rapidly create 3D models in SolidWorks ranging from quick concepts to production-level parts and assemblies using robust modeling practices.
• Develop product specifications and requirements to communicate design intent, materials, mitigate hazards, and establish acceptable performance standards.
• Comfortably use mechanical engineering fundamentals right sized for the design such as statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer to evaluate concepts and inform and validate design decisions.
• Analyze and document key mechanical system characteristics, including tolerance stake-up analyses, thermal performance models, mechanism motion properties, or dynamic fluid pressure/flow.
• Construct and test of prototypes using 3D printers, shop tools, and selected suppliers. 
• Drive discussions with Engenious clients to understand the product/project vision and present technical design updates, decisions, and design reviews.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends to recommend improvements and innovations in mechanical design processes.
• Provide technical mentorship to junior mechanical engineers and commonly operate as the lead mechanical engineer on projects requiring a team.

POSITION DETAILS:

This is a full-time, permanent position. This position works from our Kansas City based office during core business hours.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
• Demonstrated Solidworks modeling experience (SolidWorks strongly preferred, but willing to consider CREO, Inventor, CATI)

NICE TO HAVES:

• Injection molding and sheet metal design experience
• Fluid management experience
• Product design, launch, and support experience
• Medical device certification experience (60601-1, etc.)
• Technical leadership experience
