Senior Mechanical Engineer

Description

Want to be part of a team transforming healthcare?

We are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our team. Working within the R&D department, you will be responsible for leading projects in relation to electro-mechanical design and development of Adaptixs products, both in the medical and industrial sectors.

The Company

Medical imaging helps patients by enabling early and accurate diagnosis. However, 2D X-rays can be inconclusive as they give a fundamentally limited view of our 3D bodies. 3D images are possible with CT scanners but these are much more expensive, give a higher dose of radiation and moving a critically ill patient to a scanner can be labour-intensive and risky.

At Adaptix we are helping make 3D imaging more accessible to the people who need it by producing mobile flat-panel X-ray systems that can be brought to patients - giving low-cost, low-dose imaging.

Candidate Profile

As our ideal candidate, you will have a minimum qualification of a degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience in relevant field.

You have expertise of external manufacturing processes and product design and are able to work well with internal and external design and manufacturing resources to help bring products to market in the medical and non-destructive testing fields. Key Responsibilities

Main Duties And Responsibilities

• Act as a functional expert, providing guidance and advice to colleagues in their specialist area (Mechanical Engineering and testing)
• Generate practical design concepts and solutions and create models and technical drawings using SolidWorks
• Supporting the development of manufacturing processes and novel designs for new technology applications and materials
• Analyse and verify designs (including designing and carrying out stress, thermal and tolerance analyses), document results and make data led recommendations to support continuous improvement of our products and processes

Prepare documentation and technical reports, including drawings and work instructions, and all other project documentation as required

Liaising with internal stakeholders and key external partners to resolve design and development issues

Take ownership for own project work, lead projects and identify and prioritise critical tasks to meet project delivery deadlines

Works collaboratively to plan future product development in line with company objectives

Order components and materials, liaising with suppliers to ensure project deliverables are met

Resolve any technical issues that arise, including documenting and reporting investigatory work

Assist with the build and progression of prototype products and develop these into production assemblies

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Skills

• Strong technical skills including knowledge of the materials and coating processes applied in material selection
• Knowledge of GD&T applied to drawings and the assignment of realistic tolerances balancing function with cost
• Strong mechanical or electro-mechanical engineering background, and be able to apply knowledge to real-world situations
• Proficient in 3D CAD using SolidWorks, to produce designs and drawings using best practice geometric tolerances and drawing standards including experience with drawing control systems such as PDM
• Ability to produce creative and practical design solutions including appropriate analysis, incorporating electronics, PCBs cabling and sensors within a mechanical package
• Desire to mentor and develop the skills and capabilities of other team members
• Proactive, results-driven focus with the ability to successfully identify, troubleshoot and resolve issues and work to deadlines in and R&D environment
  
  

Experience:

• Design engineering experience in a high technology environment

Mechanical manufacturing processes including machining, metal fabrication, welding and advanced materials

Leading R&D projects under a stage review product development process

A track record in industrial product development, ideally in the medical or metrology/NDT domain

Scoping work, making design decisions, and completing tasks within deadline and budget

Commercial experience of working with suppliers would be advantageous

Working within a medical device or other highly regulated industry would be welcome but not essential

Designing for EMC to protect internal electronics

About Adaptix At Adaptix we have a clear vision to Transform Radiology

Adaptix Limited was founded by leading experts in radiation production, medical devices, and technology transfer.

Our dedicated team of hardware and software engineers, business strategists, project managers, and product leaders are on a mission to transform radiology.

Our groundbreaking technology enables 3D X-ray imaging at doses and costs comparable to traditional 2D X-rays, revolutionizing the field of X-ray imaging across medical and non-medical industries.

At Adaptix, we are at the forefront of innovations and are committed to advancing healthcare imaging and beyond through our state-of-the-art solutions.

Our Vision

Our vision is that our technology will enable low-dose 3D X-ray imaging to be cheaper, more widely available and truly portable throughout the worlds clinics and hospitals.

This is of value to Patient, Physician and Payer, by replacing 2D imaging with more accurate 3D imaging, and allowing that more accurate diagnosis to be at the Point-of-Care, reducing the need to move patients or refer away for CT or MR imaging.
