Are you an experienced Freelance Mechanical Engineer looking to make an impact in the medical device industry? Join a global leader in healthcare technology and contribute to the development of cutting-edge solutions that improve lives worldwide.

What You'll Do:

• Drive mechanical design activities across all stages of development, producing technical drawings and specifications for electromechanical devices, jigs, and test fixtures.
• Perform root-cause analysis, hypothesis testing, and Design of Experiments to solve complex engineering challenges.
• Apply Design for Six Sigma tools to optimise product design and ensure statistically robust test data.
• Collaborate with Engineers, Technicians, and Operators during brainstorming sessions and hands-on testing.
• Plan and execute feasibility studies, prototype evaluations, and V&V testing, analysing data to guide decisions.
• Work cross-functionally with Electrical, Software, Systems, Test Engineering, Procurement, and Quality teams to meet technical, customer, and regulatory requirements.
• Support risk management activities (e.g., FMEA), compliance with medical device standards, and ensure manufacturability and serviceability of designs.
• Partner with Operations and suppliers to define requirements, drive Design for Manufacturability, and achieve project milestones.
• Lead projects by creating plans, developing test strategies, and presenting results to stakeholders.

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (e.g., Biomedical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing & Automation).
• 5-10+ years of relevant industry experience, including full product lifecycle in an R&D environment.
• Strong knowledge of international medical device standards (ISO 60601-1, EU MDR) is highly desirable.
• Expertise in 3D modeling and 2D drafting (SolidWorks essential).
• Skilled in assembly modeling and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Experience with statistical tools (e.g., Minitab) for data acquisition and analysis.
• Proven leadership experience mentoring junior engineers and managing technical teams.
