Insulet is looking for a Mechanical Engineer to help drive innovation and leadership within its design team. The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for designing and developing Insulet's next-generation wearables and platform extensions.

To accomplish this, the Mechanical Engineer works quickly to prove feasibility on device subsystems, rapidly prototype integrated systems, optimize new devices for manufacturability, and ultimately support design transfer of a commercial-ready product into a highly automated production environment.

Success depends on a strong understanding of engineering and scientific fundamentals as well as experience with end-to-end product design in the medical device environment. This is a challenging role, suitable for an energetic problem solver who thrives on difficult technical challenges and who wishes to work on a small team charged with developing solutions to hard problems.
Responsibilities

• Generate next-generation insulin delivery technologies (inclusive of ideation, design, and filing of intellectual property)
• Design device subsystems using CAD software and support full system integration efforts
• Analyze design solutions using engineering software tools and statistical methods
• Identify and mitigate risks associated with device functionality, reliability, safety, COGs, and manufacturing scalability
• Design, set up, and execute or guide feasibility tests
• Prototype and test subsystems using in-house rapid prototyping and testing equipment
• Work with cross-functional teams within the organization
• Work within final assembly manufacturing environments and assist in early-stage process development and manufacturing optimization to ensure products meet design intent
• Work with and manage external suppliers, conduct DFM reviews, and go onsite as needed
• Conduct competitor technology tear-down studies
• Develop failure analysis models using simulation tools
• Periodically participate in strategic planning activities
• Mentor other engineering team members within the organization

• Natural out-of-the-box thinker who is driven to find novel solutions to challenging problems
• Ethical, responsible, and data-driven decision-maker

• Ability to effectively communicate (verbal/written) within engineering team
• Advanced CAD capabilities: complex assemblies, surfacing, and multi-body modeling experience
• Ability to organize and judge priorities, as well as oversee and delegate responsibilities to other engineering staff/team members when necessary
• Familiarity with Statistical Process Control (SPC), GD&T, Lean, Six Sigma (a plus)
• Knowledge of infusion pumps and subcutaneous injection systems (a plus)
• PC skills: MS Office Suite, SolidWorks, and ePDM required; Ansys, LabVIEW (a plus)
• Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing/Cost (DFM/C) and automated assembly experience (a plus)

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering; Master's Degree preferred
• Minimum of 2 years of electromechanical product design and development experience, preferably medical device Class II or III
• Experience in the design of injection molded components, stampings, and machined components (strong plus)
• Experience in the design of disposable, bio-compatible fluid paths and/or container solutions (strong plus)
• Experience in high-volume product design (>10 million units per year) (strong plus)
• A track record of generating novel ideas/IP (strong plus)

• The position is hybrid at our Acton, MA location. 3 days/week in the office is normal, and depending on the phase of the project, 5 days/week may be required
• Travel is estimated at 10% or less and will flex depending on business need
