About the Job

We're a Colorado-based medical device engineering firm that helps clients design and develop Class II medical devices — from concept through prototyping, testing, and design transfer. We're hiring a Principal Mechanical Engineer / Engineering Lead to own technical delivery across our project portfolio. This is a hands-on role: you'll do real engineering work yourself (SolidWorks CAD, FEA, GD&T; drawings) while also being the senior technical voice for our clients and leading a small team of 1–5 engineers as needed.

We're specifically looking for skilled, senior-level engineers based in the Philippines for this position, working US Mountain Time business hours.

Responsibilities

● Lead the technical side of Class II medical device projects — primarily mechanical engineering, with some electrical engineering overlap.

● Perform hands-on engineering work: SolidWorks CAD modeling and assembly design, FEA (structural, thermal, fatigue as needed), tolerance analysis, and GD&T; drawings per ASME Y14.5.

● Serve as the main technical contact for clients, running design reviews and engineering decisions directly with their team.

● Manage the engineering side of projects — scoping tasks, setting timelines, tracking milestones, and flagging risks.

● Lead and mentor a team of 1–5 engineers, assigning work based on project needs.

● Guide projects from concept through detailed design, prototyping, verification, and design transfer, following design controls and regulatory requirements.

● Build and test prototypes hands-on (3D printing, machining, bench testing, troubleshooting).

● Review and approve engineering deliverables (drawings, specs, DFMEAs, test protocols) before they go to clients.

● Spot technical risks early and bring solutions to the team and clients.

Requirements

● 10 years of medical device engineering experience, with mechanical engineering as your primary discipline.

● Direct experience with Class II medical devices: design controls, risk management (ISO 14971),



design history files.

● Strong hands-on SolidWorks skills (3D modeling, assemblies, drawings).

● Experience running SolidWorks Simulation FEA (structural, thermal, and/or fatigue).

● Strong GD&T; knowledge (ASME Y14.5) — able to create manufacturing-ready drawings and run tolerance stack-up analysis.

● Working knowledge of DFM/DFA for medical device manufacturing (injection molding, machining, sheet metal) and biocompatible materials (ISO 10993).

● Basic electrical engineering knowledge, enough to collaborate with or guide EE-focused work.

● Proven project management experience — scoping, scheduling, tracking.

● Strong communication skills, comfortable with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

● Experience leading or mentoring engineers.

Nice to Have

● PMP certification

● Consulting or professional services background

● Familiarity with FDA 510(k) and ISO 13485

● Exposure to human factors/usability engineering and sterilization (EtO, gamma)

Benefits / What We Offer

● Fully remote work — Philippines-based candidates encouraged to apply.

● Long-term contract with a reliable, established US-based company.

● Meaningful, senior-level ownership on real medical device projects.

● Flexibility to lead a small team while staying hands-on with the engineering work you enjoy.
