Job Details

Summary:

Haemonetics designs and manufactures medical devices that separate blood components (e.g. apheresis devices) for therapeutic treatments, pharmaceutical industry, blood transfusions, and other diagnostic equipment to support the healthcare blood management industry.

This is a key and critical role in the research and development team based at 125 Summer Street, Boston, MA. (5-minute walk from South Station) The qualified candidate will be a highly motivated Sr Mechanical Design Engineer for the overall concept, design, integration, reliability, and test of existing and next generation product enhancements. The candidate will be more than a Sr Mechanical Design Engineer, but also a Technical Leader who has demonstrated success in building technical foundational tools, infrastructure, and processes in the mechanical engineering discipline.

Your responsibilities will include, but not limited to the following:

• Design, develop, and maintain medical device platforms that separate blood components (e.g. apheresis devices) for therapeutic treatments, blood transfusions, pharmaceutical industry, and diagnostic equipment to support the healthcare blood management industry.
• Technical Leader in a wide range of engineering disciplines including Material selections, thermal management, electromechanical, mechanisms, safety medical standards (IEC/ISO 60601 standard series, IVD 61010 standard series, etc.) compliance, design for reliability and planning, mechanical verification, and etc.
• Lead cross-functional technical team discussions following our design control process from product requirements, designs, verification, and product release while meeting our customers demanding requirements.
• Lead technical discussions with key component suppliers in the areas of materials selection, critical to quality specifications, trouble shooting, DOE capability, etc.
• Demonstrated technical development success in translating Customer/User requirements/needs into reliable low-cost product designs and launch products to market successfully.
• GD&T & assembly or component tolerance analysis is a MUST.  
• Design & build mechanical prototypes and prove design feasibility, functionality, and performance.
• Document all phases of the design including requirements, specifications, plans, reviews, test procedures, test reports, and various DFX disciplines (e.g., design for manufacturing, design for reliability, design for serviceability.)
• Lead existing product failure investigations: Investigate and determine root cause of product issues and use DOE method to implement solutions.

Requirements:

• BSME /MSME with 7+ years experience in Mechanical product design of complex electro-mechanical products in the medical device industry (or equivalent high reliability industries such as automotive, aerospace, military, etc.)
• Deep technical expertise across mechanical engineering disciplines, including plastics, metals, materials, thermal management, mechanisms, and reliability engineering
• Proven experience designing electromechanical medical devices from concept through production, including next‑generation platform development
• Strong device architecture, subassembly placement, UX considerations, heat distribution, design for serviceability, and design for manufacturing
• Extensive hands‑on expertise with SolidWorks (Complex assemblies, drawings, and PDM); SolidWorks proficiency is mandatory
• Demonstrated success in 2D/3D CAD design, simulations, tolerance analysis, and mechanical verification
• Experience executing full product development and prototype phases (LP, PP, PPQ) and transitioning designs to manufacturing.
• Strong application of DFM/DFA principles throughout development phases.
• Experience working closely with industrial design partners to translate UX requirements into robust mechanical solutions.
• Strong documentation capability, including system requirements, theory of operation, CAD drawings, test protocols and reports, risk analysis, and failure analysis
• Solid understanding of medical device regulatory requirements and standards (e.g., IEC/ISO 60601, IEC 61010), with experience supporting compliance activities and regulatory submissions
• Experience supporting manufacturing operations, including line layout, fixturing, kanban subassemblies, in‑line testing, and final device test strategies
• Demonstrated delivery of at least 1–2 complete electromechanical platform products from concept to production (medical device experience strongly preferred)

Preferred:

• Experience with third‑party lab testing, simulation analysis, and certification for IEC safety and EMC compliance
• Knowledge of motor systems, motion control, and rotating machinery
• Knowledge of pneumatic systems, fluid‑handling mechanisms, and thermal dynamics
• Broad familiarity with manufacturing processes including cables, shielding, and system‑level electromechanical integration
• Experience driving continuous improvement initiatives to simplify designs, increase efficiency, and improve manufacturability
