This role supports the development of next-generation X-ray imaging systems within Medtronic’s capital equipment portfolio. The engineering team is responsible for the mechanical design, integration, testing, and support of complex electromechanical systems used in advanced medical imaging applications. Team members work across product development activities, from concept design through prototype builds, verification testing, and system readiness.

This position is based in Boxborough, Massachusetts and follows a flex work model with four days per week onsite. Regular onsite presence is required to support laboratory activities, hardware development, system integration, and testing.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer II, you will contribute to the design, integration, testing, and support of large-scale electromechanical imaging systems. This role combines mechanical engineering design with significant hands-on laboratory work, providing opportunities to work directly with prototypes, test systems, and complex capital equipment throughout the product development lifecycle.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design mechanical and electromechanical components, assemblies, fixtures, and tooling using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and engineering drawings.
• Support assembly, integration, bring-up, troubleshooting, and repair of complex electromechanical systems and prototypes.
• Develop and execute engineering test protocols, test setups, and verification activities to evaluate system performance.
• Analyze test data, document results, and support root-cause investigations for product and system issues.
• Maintain laboratory systems through setup, configuration, operation, refurbishment, and documentation activities.
• Create and manage engineering documentation, including Bills of Materials (BOMs), work instructions, engineering changes, and configuration records.
• Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles during design reviews, inspections, and failure analysis activities.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to support prototype builds, project milestones, and manufacturing readiness efforts.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering and 2+ years of experience OR Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with 0+ years of experience.
• Hands-on experience with mechanical or electromechanical hardware assembly, testing, troubleshooting, prototyping, or laboratory systems.
• Experience using 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and creating or modifying engineering drawings.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SolidWorks.
• Working knowledge of mechanical drawings, tolerancing practices, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and mechanical system components.
• Experience supporting engineering test activities, data analysis, and technical documentation.
• Experience developing or supporting large electromechanical capital equipment systems.
• Experience with motion-control or motion-assembly systems in a development environment.
• Experience supporting verification and validation activities for complex hardware systems.
• Basic machine shop experience, including manual machining and fabrication of simple parts and fixtures.

For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required.
