  • Provide clear and proactive communication with clients and internal stakeholders on technical progress, changes, and risks.

Engineering Design & Prototyping

  • Lead and contribute hands-on to mechanical design and development of electro-mechanical assemblies, enclosures, mechanisms, and fixtures.
  • Generate CAD models, detailed drawings, and tolerance analyses using SolidWorks or equivalent tools.
  • Integrate mechanical designs with electrical and embedded components; support system-level layout and packaging.
  • Direct and participate in prototyping, mechanical testing, and design verification activities.
  • Perform design iterations based on testing outcomes and customer feedback to achieve performance, cost, and manufacturability objectives.
  • Design Transfer & Manufacturing Readiness

  • Collaborate with manufacturing, process, and quality teams to establish production methods, travelers, and inspection criteria.
  • Lead design transfer activities including pilot builds, process validation (IQ / OQ / PQ), and documentation handoff.
  • Support supplier qualification, material selection, and manufacturability improvements.
  • Ensure all project documentation (DHF, DMR, risk files, change records) is complete, accurate, and audit-ready.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Biomedical Engineering (or related discipline).
  • 7–12+ years of experience in product design and development within medical devices or precision electro-mechanical systems.
  • Proven ability to manage technical projects through all phases of the product lifecycle.
  • Strong mechanical design and prototyping skills with experience in assembly, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Knowledge of electrical subsystems and system integration.
  • Demonstrated experience working under ISO 13485 or other regulated quality systems (FDA, aerospace, defense).
  • Excellent communication and technical documentation skills; experience interacting directly with customers and cross-functional teams.
  • Assets

  • Experience within a medical device contract development / manufacturing (CDMO / OEM) environment.
  • Knowledge of IEC 60601, ISO 14971, and design-for-manufacture (DFM / DFX) best practices.
  • Familiarity with process validation (IQ / OQ / PQ), vendor management, and supply chain coordination.
  • PMP certification or formal project management training.
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks, PLM / ERP systems, and Microsoft Project (or equivalent tools).
  • Why Join Sonele
