Mechanical Design Engineer

Your Job

Phillips-Medisize, a Molex Company, is seeking a Mechanical Designer to join our Global Research and Development Center in Hudson, Wisconsin.

In this role, you will apply sound design for manufacturability, assembly, and automation principles to ensure our product designs can be manufactured efficiently.

What You Will Do


* Work within the Design Development Process (DDP) to design products for and with our customers, primarily in the medical device, drug delivery, and diagnostic industries.


* Use CAD systems like SolidWorks or Creo to create 3D models, assemblies, and tolerance stack-up analyses that meet product requirements and verify fit, form, and function.


* Develop appropriate assembly and test fixtures to aid in the manufacture and testing of the design.


* Integrate supplied/identified electronic elements as necessary into the design.


* Develop appropriate drawings to detail product and assembly specifications and tolerances in a manner compliant with ASME or other design standards (i.e.

ISO).


* Maintain a design journal and design documentation that identify product risk and track design changes throughout the DDP, and contribute to design reviews, risk assessments (e.g., DFMEA), and design history file content.


* Participate in concept ideation sessions.


* Create 3D models, assemblies, and tolerance stack-up analyses to verify fit, form, and function.


* Apply design for manufacturability, assembly, and automation (DFM/DFA) principles to injection-molded components and assemblies.


* Collaborate with tooling, molding, manufacturing, quality, and automation engineers to resolve design and process issues, including mold design reviews, tool trials, and first-article inspection, and recommend design or tooling changes.


* Build, test, and evaluate prototypes (including 3D-printed parts) to confirm designs and support design verification activities.


* Prepare design documentation and contribute to design reviews, risk assessments (e.g., DFMEA), and design history file content.


* Select materials and components based on performance, cost, regulatory, and manufacturing requirements.


* Follow quality system requirements, including design controls (e.g., ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR 820) and company procedures.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)


* 5+ years of CAD experience (SolidWorks or Creo) with plastic injection-molded products or molds


* Experience designing injection molding processes at the component and assembly level


* Design for Manufacturability (DFM) experience focused on plastic injection molding assembly methods such as snaps, sonic welding, press fit, sealing and joining methods

What Will Put You Ahead


* Multi-shot and metal injection molding experience


* Associate's or Bachelor's degree


* Medical device, Diagnostics, or drug delivery systems design experience


* Experience in designing in regulatory environments.
