Mechanical Engineer (Medtech)

TL;DR

Mechanical Engineer (Medtech): Design and delivery of complex radiography systems, leading mechanical development across multiple subsystems or projects from concept through production with an accent on enclosures, frames, thermal management, and electromechanical packaging. Focus on applying DFM/DFS principles, tolerance management, hands-on prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and ensuring regulatory compliance in a collaborative environment.

Hybrid remote – 60/40 (Rochester, NY / Remote). Domestic and international travel to supplier and customer sites may be required (1-2 weeks annually).

Compensation: $90,000 - $120,000 per year
