Core components of Stereotaxis' systems have received regulatory clearance in the United States, European Union, China, Japan, Canada, and elsewhere. For more information, please visit www.stereotaxis.com. Position Summary: This position is a Mechanical Engineer for the R&D department designing and developing capital and disposable products to support Stereotaxis' Magnetic Navigation System platform. The ideal candidate will have previously been a successful design engineer with experience in both electromechanical systems and single use medical devices. This role will be a key member of a product development team, working on multiple aspects of Stereotaxis' unique robotic systems and video display aggregation/consolidation products used in cardiac catheterization labs. The engineer will collaborate with other design engineers, cross-functional project members, suppliers, and partners to realize viable technical solutions and designs for transfer to manufacturing and commercialization. The engineer must excel in a high-energy team environment and be capable of creative problem solving when faced with the time pressures and incomplete information typical of early-stage product development. Essential Responsibilities: *Contribute to the design and development of capital systems and single-use medical devices from feasibility through to manufacturing transfer and product launch. *Perform conceptual and detailed design, analytical modeling, prototyping, troubleshooting and performance testing of devices, systems, subsystems, and components utilizing good documentation practices in accordance with design control processes. *Create written protocols, test methods, reports, and presentations related to design activities. *Assist with clinical evaluation of prototypes by supporting ex-vivo and in-vivo Verification and Validation testing. *Provide hands-on manufacturing assembly work instruction development and refinement (e.g., improvements, cost reductions), and design support to other departments. *Develop cross-functional relationships with a variety of department representatives (e.g., Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, etc.). *Must be capable of working independently and in a team, while being flexible and self-motivated.
