Essential Duties and Responsibilities: 

• The incumbent may be asked to perform other function-related activities in addition to the below mentioned as responsibilities as reasonably required by business needs.
• This position is responsible for performing the following tasks as assigned while receiving close supervision on unusual or difficult problems and general oversight on all aspects of work:
• Performs assigned mechanical design and project tasks of simple to moderate complexity for new product development, working under the direction of project and engineering leads from concept through design transfer.
• Supports development of product frames and skins, considering structural performance, weight, appearance, cleanability, service access, manufacturability, and cost.
• Creates and updates SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings in accordance with project requirements and engineering practices; considers interfaces, functional dimensions, tolerances, and design intent.
• Supports mechanical integration of electromechanical components, including pumps, console frame, electrical systems, and fluid pathways.
• Supports design and evaluation of interfaces between reusable consoles and disposable components, such as FMS FloPaks, considering alignment, connection, retention, sealing, usability, and reliable operation.
• Applies design-for-manufacturing and assembly principles to assigned components; identifies potential cost drivers and cost-reduction opportunities and evaluates alternatives with guidance from senior engineers and suppliers.
• Applies working knowledge of machining, casting, bent sheet-metal fabrication, injection molding, and plating to develop manufacturable designs and incorporate supplier and manufacturing feedback.
• Performs engineering research, analysis, tolerance stack-ups, and investigations; supports prototype and verification testing and uses results to resolve design issues.
• Prepares and maintains assigned engineering deliverables, including design documentation, risk inputs, protocols, reports, and verification and validation records, with appropriate review and guidance.
