We are developing next-generation robotic surgical systems that enable safer, more precise procedures and better outcomes for patients suffering from BPH.
We’re looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer to lead the architecture and design of complex electro-mechanical subsystems — precision mechanisms, motion systems, and capital equipment used directly in the operating room.
This is not a CAD-only role.
You will function as a technical owner and system architect, driving decisions that shape the product and mentoring engineers across the team.
If you enjoy solving deep mechanical problems, working shoulder-to-shoulder with EE/Systems/Clinical teams, and shipping hardware that truly matters, you’ll feel at home here.
What Your Day-To-Day Will Involve:
- Design, develop, and verify mechanical engineering solutions for Capital equipment working both hands-on and collaboratively including architecture direction, design and procurement of components, prototype assembly and builds, and design and development of testing and assembly fixtures and methods.
- Work in a small, cross-functional team to define and develop technical specifications for robotic systems and subsystems
- Lead workstreams for capital equipment or subsystem within the ME team or cross functionally,
- Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (software, electrical, systems, manufacturing) on the design of capital equipment systems and subsystems
- Contribute to and make decisions based on risk assessments, industry standards, and regulatory frameworks
- Perform technical design reviews to solicit feedback on design progress
- Create and maintain SolidWorks CAD databases, including assemblies, components, and detailed drawings
- Identifies and resolves technical issues to ensure feasibility and sustainability of mechanical designs. Contributes to the design for manufacturing analysis

- Proven expertise across all phases of the product development lifecycle—from concept to design transfer and manufacturing.
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including modeling of complex mechanisms and assemblies.
- Strong prototyping and iterative design skills, with hands-on experience building and testing mechanical systems.
- Deep knowledge of manufacturing processes such as injection molding, machining, sheet metal forming, and rapid prototyping.
- Demonstrated ability to design for manufacturability, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
- Experience managing outsourced development programs and setting technical criteria for vendor deliverables.
- Skilled in mechanical analysis including statics, dynamics, kinematics, and stress analysis.
- Advanced proficiency in tolerance stack-up analysis for low- to mid-volume production environments.
- Familiarity with IEC 60601 standards and thermal design for complex integrated systems.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a proven ability to work cross-functionally and drive consensus, and present to executive leadership.
