Job Description

As the Mechanical Engineering Manager you will oversee the development of novel implantable medical devices, hermetic electronics packages, cranial implants and surgical instrumentation. Coordination with internal and external resources will be required to manufacture prototypes and eventually transfer designs to manufacturing. In the course of your work executing Paradromics’ projects, you will ensure that proper scientific principles and engineering procedures are followed so that when a project is complete, it can be transferred readily to Manufacturing.

This role has a managerial component, as you will be supervising a team of scientists and engineers who will be involved in the day-to-day execution of these projects. You will be expected to provide mentorship and direction for your team as you all work to bring together disparate technologies and methods into a single device development plan. You will need to plan and coordinate the work of the mechanical engineering staff to ensure that they meet goals and objectives and conduct performance evaluations that are timely and constructive. Close collaboration with the electrical engineering team will also be required in order to ensure that mechanical designs are tightly integrated with associated electrical designs and requirements.
