About this role

<p>Lexington Medical, Inc. is hiring a Mechanical Engineer in Bedford, MA to design medical device mechanisms for our AEON™ surgical stapling platform. As a Mechanical Engineer at Lexington Medical, you will take designs&nbsp;from concept to production, with broad ownership of the work along the way.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>About Lexington Medical</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lexington Medical, Inc. is a medical device company designing and&nbsp;manufacturing surgical stapling technology at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, just outside Boston. Our AEON™&nbsp;Endostapler&nbsp;is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive surgical stapler used in operating rooms around the world. With engineering,&nbsp;manufacturing, and quality working closely together, engineers stay close to the product and see their work move from an idea through prototyping, testing,&nbsp;manufacturing, and&nbsp;ultimately into&nbsp;the operating room.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>About the Role</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>As a Mechanical Engineer at Lexington Medical, you will join an R&amp;D team developing precision surgical stapling devices across one of three areas. Placement is based on your experience and interests. Across the teams, you will design components and assemblies, build and test prototypes, iterate, and work with&nbsp;manufacturing to bring it into production.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is a good fit for an engineer who wants to do more than own a narrow piece of a larger program. You will stay close to the physical product and the full development process&nbsp;across three&nbsp;specialized&nbsp;groups:&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Reloads:</strong>&nbsp;Cartridge mechanisms, staple formation and geometry, firing sequences, and tissue compression.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Manual Handle:</strong>&nbsp;Linkages, gear trains, force transfer, ergonomics, and design for&nbsp;manufacturing.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Power Handle:</strong>&nbsp;Motorized systems integrating mechanical components, motors, sensors, electronics, and other electromechanical elements.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Responsibilities</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<ul>

<li>Design, prototype, and&nbsp;validate&nbsp;mechanical and mechatronic subsystems for the AEON™ surgical stapling platform. </li>

<li>Develop 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and assemblies using SolidWorks. </li>

<li>Review designs for mechanical performance, reliability,&nbsp;manufacturability, and&nbsp;appropriate tolerancing. </li>

<li>Select materials and components for precision, miniaturized mechanical systems. </li>

<li>Build and test prototypes and use experimental results to guide design decisions. </li>

<li>Partner with manufacturing engineers on DFM/DFA, process development, and design transfer. </li>

<li>Document development work in accordance with&nbsp;medical device design controls and quality requirements. </li>

<li>Support improvements to existing products with a focus on performance, quality,&nbsp;manufacturability, speed, and cost.&nbsp;</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>Qualifications</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<ul>

<li>Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering&nbsp;or equivalent. </li>

</ul>
