The team at WorkTrybe are helping BiVACOR find a Mechanical Engineer III to join their Huntington Beach engineering team and help design the mechanical systems that make this technology possible.
This is a hands-on product design role, not a drafting or manufacturing-only position. You’ll own mechanical designs from concept through non-clinical manufacture in a highly regulated medical device environment.
What you’ll be doing
Design mechanical components and assemblies in SolidWorks (2D & 3D)
Own drawings, tolerancing, and GD&T (ASME Y14.5) for production-ready designs
Contribute to the design of implantable mechanical subsystems, including pumps, connectors, drivelines, and implant tools
Design and support fixtures and tooling for prototyping and manufacturing
Work closely with technicians, suppliers, quality, and V&V teams
Support verification, validation, and design control activities
Help document designs for FDA / ISO compliance
What we’re looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
4+ years of mechanical design experience in medical devices - ideally implantable devices
