The Mechanical Engineer provides support for projects involving complex mechanical design and manufacture in the development of Spacelabs patient monitoring products. Responsibility includes design, testing, prototyping and simulation, and parts selection.

The Mechanical Engineer must demonstrate the ability to be solutions-oriented, work hands-on, meet schedule goals, lead/be part of effective teams, and demonstrate take-charge qualities.

Execute complex designs in the following disciplines: plastic injection molding, vacuum forming, machining, casting, stamping and sheet metal.
• Apply theoretical calculation to design in areas such as thermodynamics, fluid flow, or structural analysis by testing mathematical models to validate the capabilities and parameters of the design and prove the prototype will do as design indicates.
• Optimize development of project/product by trade-offs of schedule, development cost, tooling cost, product cost, functionality, reliability, and manufacturability to meet the goals and objectives of the company.
• Rigorous adherence to company and quality procedures and requirements.
• Prepare product requirements.
• Provide technical reports and presentations.
• Actively appraise technology and product concepts to keep product lines competitive and moving toward excellence by attending seminars, reading related articles and talking to vendors. Schedule own development activities.
