Mechanical Engineer III (QVS) at Fujifilm in US-WA-Bothell
Job Description
Mechanical Engineer III (QVS)
Position Overview
As a Mechanical Engineer III, you will solve mechanical design issues to improve the quality of complex ultrasound systems, establishing, and implementing innovative modifications of existing designs to reduce costs while still maintaining quality. This involves creating and modifying complex parts and assemblies using SolidWorks, simulation and analysis of various design alternatives using simulation packages (thermal and stress), rapid prototyping, first articles testing, developing, and executing the qualification plans, reporting results in formal documents. Understanding strain/stress issues on printed circuit boards that house RoHS-compliant components are required. Must be able to interface with the EE engineers, system engineers, industrial design engineers, FFSS’s supply chain and suppliers to make sure that all aspects of the modified designs are considered. Work closely with Sr. Mechanical Engineers and Production Engineers to solve manufacturing and design issues. Previous experience working with FDA-regulated products is highly desired. Contributing to the establishment and maintenance of the project schedules is also a part of the QVS ME engineer’s responsibilities.
