Our mission is to be the global leader in design, engineering, and manufacturing solutions for the medical and technology industries — creating impactful solutions that improve lives, and fostering an environment where our team members can thrive, grow, and contribute to groundbreaking advancements in the medical field.

A better career for you. Creating medical technology for all.

We're ramping up for some of the most exciting projects in our pipeline. These programs are pushing our team beyond current capacity, and we need two experienced Mechanical Design Engineers with strong PTC Creo skills to step in and own real design work from day one.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who's already built a solid track record in mechanical design and wants to apply it to devices that matter — including robotic surgery technology. You'll work with real autonomy, partner directly with customers, and mentor less experienced engineers on the team, all while contributing to some of the most technically interesting programs in our portfolio.
