The MedTech Surgery organization combines our surgical portfolio with Robotics & Digital technologies to advance the future of surgery.

Are you passionate about improving and expanding the possibilities of surgery? Ready to join a team that is reimagining how we heal? Our Surgery team will give you the opportunity to deliver technologies and solutions to surgeons and healthcare professionals around

the world. Your contributions will help support the treatment of prevalent conditions such as lung cancer and kidney stones. Patients are waiting.

Key Role Responsibilities

• Provide hands-on development and sustaining mechanical engineering support for Monarch capital systems, assemblies, accessories, and related manufacturing processes.
• Own and maintain global BOM structures to ensure accurate product configuration across R&D, Manufacturing, Service, Operations, and external manufacturing partners.
• Manage and support BOM changes associated with sustaining releases, incremental software releases with no hardware changes, design changes, component replacements, and configuration updates.
• Support BOM merge activities and ensure product configuration integrity through design and manufacturing changes.
• Lead or support mechanical root-cause investigations associated with manufacturing issues, field complaints, service findings, product quality events, and supplier-related concerns.
• Perform proactive and preemptive complaint reviews to identify recurring mechanical issues, emerging trends, and opportunities for design or manufacturing improvement.
• Lead or support CAPA and nonconformance investigations involving mechanical components, assemblies, systems, and manufacturing processes.
• Develop technically sound root-cause assessments, corrective actions, effectiveness checks, and documentation required to achieve timely closure.
• Support Quality initiatives including Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) activities, template updates, documentation improvements, and process standardization.
• Lead or support external manufacturing transfers and ensure mechanical design requirements, drawings, BOMs, tooling, documentation, and production requirements are successfully transferred.
• Support Product Quality Planning (PQP), Supplier Change Notifications (SCN), design transfer, and manufacturing-readiness activities.
• Partner with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Service, Supplier Quality, and Operations to ensure mechanical design changes are production-ready and manufacturing impacts are understood early.
• Lead or support mechanical component and material obsolescence management.
• Identify replacement components, materials, or suppliers while maintaining product form, fit, function, reliability, performance, and regulatory compliance.
• Develop and modify mechanical parts and assemblies using SolidWorks or equivalent CAD tools.
• Generate and review engineering drawings, tolerance requirements, specifications, assembly documentation, and product configuration information.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles to improve manufacturability, assembly efficiency, product reliability, serviceability, and cost.
