This is a hands-on, in-office role on a 15-person team — you will own the physical build and validation cycle, work closely with senior engineers on new product development, and serve as the point person for post-launch hardware investigations. We value engineers who take initiative, bring creative instincts to hardware problems, and can manage multiple workstreams independently. Core Responsibilities Mechanical Design & Documentation Design, build, and demonstrate physical prototypes (from hand-assembled proof-of-concept models to polished pre-production devices) that you'll put in front of clinicians, teammates, and senior leadership to show what the next generation of IBT hardware can do Produce engineering drawings and 3D models as formal design outputs within IBT's product development process (DHF) Maintain and revise mechanical design documentation in accordance with design control requirements Own Design Transfer to Manufacturing - packaging engineering design outputs (drawings, BOMs, assembly instructions, test records) into formal transfer packages that the production team can build from. Hardware Testing & Test Jig Development Build physical test fixtures and production test jigs for use by the manufacturing and production team Conduct bench-level hardware testing during new product development - continuity, functional verification, and light circuit validation using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators Support bring-up and integration testing of new hardware designs alongside the electrical engineering team Protocol Writing & Execution Write and execute hardware and software V&V protocols (including acceptance criteria, setup instructions, and data recording) and author formal test reports for regulatory submissions and design history files Author and execute hardware verification and validation protocols, including functional testing, environmental testing, and acceptance criteria documentation. Vendor & Component Management Establish and manage vendor relationships for mechanical components, off-the-shelf hardware, prototype fabrication services (CNC, 3D printing, etc), and production materials — including managing open purchase orders and lead times on behalf of the operations team. Support BOM management and component qualification as part of design outputs Non-Conformance & Quality Coordination Serve as the in-office coordinator for non-conformance reports - tracking open NCs, coordinating corrective actions with the engineering and quality teams, and ensuring timely closure. Support the Quality and Regulatory team (remote) with investigation documentation and root cause analysis for product non-conformances. Required Qualifications Education:
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechatronics, or closely related field Experience:
3-6 years in hardware product development, prototype assembly, or a hands-on engineering role with direct responsibility for physical deliverables Mechanical CAD:
SolidWorks proficiency - enclosure design, assemblies, GD&T drawings through to working prototype Hardware Skills:
Bench-level circuit testing (multimeter, oscilloscope, signal generator); component assembly and soldering; general PCB handling V&V Protocols:
Experience writing and executing formal test protocols and producing test reports; familiarity with design controls or regulated product development Vendors:
Experience sourcing mechanical components or working with prototype fabrication vendors (machine shops, 3D printing services, PCB assembly) Self-directed and organized: Demonstrated ability to manage multiple open deliverables, vendors, or projects simultaneously without close supervision. Location:
Must work full-time, on-site in Baltimore, MD Nice to Have Medical device or regulated product development experience (FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, design history file) Familiarity with complaint handling and post-market surveillance processes ECAD literacy - ability to read schematics and PCB layouts (Altium); not required to design Electromechanical assembly or wearable/prosthetic device hardware experience Jig and fixture design for manufacturing or production test environments ERP or PLM system experience (BOM management, change orders, component tracking) Pay:
