Mechanical Engineer

As a Mechanical Engineer at Dr. Frigz, you will bridge the gap between design and production. You will be responsible for designing surgical instruments, developing high-precision CNC fixtures, optimizing manufacturing processes, and utilizing advanced materials and 3D printing technologies to enhance production efficiency. If you thrive in an environment that values data-driven decisions, automation, and rigorous quality standards, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Product & Tooling Design: Utilize CAD software (SolidWorks preferred) to create, modify, and optimize 3D models and engineering drawings for surgical instruments, specialized tooling, and manufacturing fixtures.

• Manufacturing Process Optimization: Analyze existing production workflows to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, and implement mechanical or automated solutions to improve efficiency and throughput.

• Prototyping & Advanced Manufacturing: Oversee the prototyping phase using 3D printing (including high-performance polymers/composites) and traditional machining to validate designs before full-scale production.

• Fixture & Jig Development: Design and test robust CNC fixtures to ensure high repeatability and precision during multi-axis machining operations.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the production, quality assurance, and automation teams to ensure designs align with international medical device standards (ISO 13485, FDA regulations).

• Data-Driven Problem Solving: Analyze production KPIs and equipment downtime data to implement preventive maintenance schedules and continuous improvement protocols.
