Mechanical Test Engineer – Fluidics & Mechatronics

Summary

This is a key role within Mechanical Engineering, responsible for support of fluidics and mechatronics subsystem design team(s) testing. The subsystems being tested are critical to the accuracy and efficiency of the Company Diagnostic instruments which are used to diagnose and drive patient treatment. Extreme attention to detail and quality are of the utmost importance to ensure the systems operate as required. The ideal candidate will have the ability to work with engineering design team(s) to develop fixtures, set up and conduct tests for mechanical/fluidics subsystems used in medical devices. Ability to generate 3D parts/assemblies, develop test plans, set up and run fixtures to carry out test plan. Once testing is completed, create detailed test reports and communicated to the design team.

Responsibilities

• Work within a cross-functional team to develop fluidic and mechatronic test fixtures
• Develop test plans with design engineering team(s)
• Carry out test plans, generate formal reports and communicate results to design team
• Support detailed engineering analysis of new and existing designs to verify robustness and design intent.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot test fixtures as needed
• Ensure laboratories are kept organized and clean to ensure a safe work environment
• Maintain equipment and ensure all requiring calibration are current per quality standards
• Participate in design reviews with a cross-functional team.
• Collaborate with engineers, machinists, and management to achieve project objectives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science Engineering Technology Engineering (All disciplines considered)
• Bachelor of Science in Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering (or equivalent experience)

Required

• Min 2 years of industry experience in product design, development, testing and/or manufacturing with technical background in mechanical assemblies that are related to fluid and motion control.
• Hands‑on experience setting up and operating mechatronics or electro‑mechanical test fixtures
• Experience with typical lab instrumentation, such as actuators, pressure/force transducers, flow meters, and thermocouples.
• Experience developing control or automation software to support mechatronic test fixtures
• Experience specifying, setting up, and running data acquisition (DAQ) systems
• Ability to troubleshoot hardware/software integration issues
• Strong ability to plan and organize tasks.
• Must have proficiency with Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.…)
• Strong written and oral communication skills

Preferred

• Experience developing test, control, and DAQ applications using LabVIEW, Python, and/or MATLAB
• Familiarity with embedded systems and microcontroller‑based hardware a plus
• Experience with additive manufacturing processes and 3D printers a plus
• Experience with CAD design software or similar a plus (NX preferred) a plus.
• Knowledge of GD&T, ASME Y14.5 and the ability to perform tolerance stack‑ups on complex assemblies a plus.
• Familiar with Scrum agile system a plus.
