Job Description

Robotics and Digital Solutions, is part of Johnson & Johnson Med Tech. At Johnson & Johnson Robotics and Digital Solutions, we’re changing the trajectory of health for humanity, using robotics to enhance healthcare providers’ abilities and improve patients’ diagnoses, treatments, and recovery times. Johnson & Johnson Robotics was established in 2020 with the integration of Auris Health, Verb Surgical, C-SATS, and Ethicon. It comprises three key med-tech platforms: Flexible Robotics (MONARCH®), Surgical Robotics (OTTAVA™), and Digital Solutions. Join our collaborative, rapidly growing teams in the San Francisco Bay Area (Redwood City and Santa Clara), Cincinnati, and Seattle. You’ll collaborate on breakthrough medical technologies that unite multiple subject areas to build a connected digital ecosystem that advances medical professionals’ skills and improves patient outcomes.

You will contribute to the development of a complex robotic medical platform. For a self-motivated individual, this is a unique opportunity to jump into the middle of a fast-paced environment, passionate about quantitative results and delivery of a platform that exceeds expectations.

Mission: 

This Senior Mechanical Engineer will work with other members of the Research & Development design team to craft complex mechanisms, structural but lightweight assemblies, motor driven actuators, and motion transmissions. This role is responsible for conceptual and detailed CAD design, drawings, related documentation, and design specifications. Work will be focused on deriving and formalizing innovative designs based on user needs and product requirements. Key team interfaces include electrical engineering, robot controls, quality, industrial design, system integration, testing, external vendors, and internal manufacturing groups.

As a member of the R&D Mechanical Engineering Team, you will contribute to the development of a complex robotic medical platform. For a self-motivated engineer, this is a unique opportunity to jump into the middle of a fast-paced environment passionate about quantitative results and delivery of a platform that exceeds expectations.

Core Job Responsibilities:

• Create electromechanical prototypes which can be used to inform and drive design decisions and manufacturability.
• Define sub-assembly specifications and functional limits.
• Provide hands-on troubleshooting, process, and manufacturing assistance in support of a rapid development cycle.
• Design safe, robust, and reliable solutions utilizing engineering methods with good documentation processes and releasing detailed design documentation.
• Ability and willingness to work through all phases of product development from conceptualization to production.
• Must be capable of working independently and with cross-functional engineering teams.
• Be a positive, collaborative team member with a good honest work ethic.

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing and building mechanisms and assemblies. Background in robotics or medical capital equipment.
• Demonstrated experience in mechanism design, electronics packaging, and knowledge of various types of motors, encoders, sensors, and drive-train-related components such as gears, lead screws, splines, cams, linear guides, belts & pulleys.
• Mechanical analysis experience, including statics, dynamics, kinematics, strength of materials, and stress analysis. Ability to perform basic FEA.
• Proven experience in designing for manufacturability and understanding common manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, casting, injection molding, and 3D printing.
• Capable of making drawings following standard methodologies from AMSE Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
• Experience working with vendors to select, source, quote, and procure off-the-shelf and custom-designed components.
• Basic knowledge of working in an ISO and FDA-regulated environment.
• Consistent track record working well in a team environment, learning from others, as well as mentoring and coaching more junior team members.

Preferred

• Experience and proficiency in using CAD to design and document both large and small parts and assemblies. SolidWorks experience.
• Product development experience with at least one product from concept to launch.
