• Layout and develop new product designs.
• Complete engineering mechanics analysis, thermal/flow analysis, and tolerance analysis.
• Complete design refinement to support Design for Manufacture and Assembly objectives.
• Create detailed design documentation of new and revised products including part drawings, assembly documents, Bills of Materials, and purchasing specifications.
• Create Engineering Change Orders to enable control and release of designs to production under the ZOLL Quality System.
• Support document preparation for test and regulatory submission of new/existing designs.
• Support development of risk assessments and FMEA for creation of the design history file.
• Lead and participate in technical design reviews for new or revised products and other projects as assigned.

• Ability to work with minimal oversight, i.e. “self-motivated”.
• Ability to handle confidential information with discretion and skill.
• A demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement of job-related skills.
• Molded plastic part design, injection mold design, and materials knowledge including qualification and specification is required.
• Ability to design enclosures and assemblies to pass mechanical testing including shock/vibration, water ingress, and impact is required.
• Experience designing for IEC 60601 testing is a plus.
• Experience with SolidWorks Simulation and Structural/Thermal/Flow modeling and analysis is a plus.
• Experience utilizing Minitab for Design of Experiments analysis is a plus.
• Experience using and programming vision systems for automated part measuring and inspection is a plus.

Required/Preferred Education and Experience:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent. MS degree preferred.
• Requires a minimum of 6 years Mechanical Engineering and product design experience.
• Experience in medical or other highly regulated industry is strongly desired.
