About this role
Activ Surgical is building a platform for introducing the latest sensing technology to minimally invasive surgery, intended to visualize the invisible to facilitate better surgical decisions and outcomes. As part of the R&D team, you will be responsible for prototyping and designing novel mechanical systems and enclosures for real-time minimally invasive medical imaging and sensing devices, taking concepts from early prototypes through to commercial-grade, manufacturable products. You will be expected to bring a creative, detail-oriented, and dedicated approach to solving complex mechanical design challenges, stay current on the most pressing clinical and manufacturing constraints, and effectively communicate your designs with the broader cross-functional team.
Required Qualifications BS, MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline Hands-on experience designing mechanical systems, enclosures, or housings for electro-optical or medical devices Experience taking designs from concept through rapid prototyping to commercial-grade, manufacturable products Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks or equivalent) for 3D modeling, tolerancing, and drawing generation Demonstrated ability to conceptualize and rapidly prototype novel mechanical solutions using techniques such as 3D printing, machining, and sheet metal fabrication Strong understanding of GD&T, DFM/DFA principles, and materials selection Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate closely with a cross-functional team (electrical, optical, software, and clinical stakeholders) Preferred Qualifications Experience designing mechanical systems for medical devices, including familiarity with regulatory and design-control requirements (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485) Experience with precision optomechanical assemblies or camera/sensor housing Background in thermal management, sealing/ingress protection, or sterilization-compatible design Experience supporting design verification and validation (V&V) testing Familiarity with supply chain and vendor management for prototype and production builds
