We have recently launched the innovative LumiraDx Platform, and are looking for proactive, experienced, focused, and enthusiastic individuals who can make a significant contribution to the continued growth and success of our dynamic and forward-looking company. Key roles and Responsibilities You'll provide mechanical design expertise to enable the development of the current prototype instrument into a production-ready instrument through the following activities: Concept generation of complex mechanical subsystems including microfluidics control, magnetic and electromagnetic field generation and control, and temperature control systems Implementing in CAD (Solidworks) embodiments of such concepts Utilising modelling and simulation tools to verify critical to quality parameters associated with generated concepts including magnetic field modelling, thermal modelling, stress modelling and material behaviour modelling. Integrating mechanical subs systems with associated electronic and system aspects of the design such as PCB's, cables and connectors, displays into a complete design while maintaining control of critical to quality system behaviour and performance. Build of prototypes and design of associated experiments to demonstrate, characterise and verify the performance of mechanical systems. Creation of detailed design specifications based on simulation, prototype testing, characterisation and product requirements Analysis of experimental data of new and existing designs, and the creation of associated design study reports. Work across instrument development and assay development teams to resolve system performance anomalies. Liaising with instrument manufacture partner and partner design agencies to communicate new ideas for incorporation into final instrument design Supervise the development of tooling for the manufacture of prototype and production instruments. Use of risk analysis-based methods (e.g. FMEA, System Risk Analysis) and implementation of associated outcomes into the system design Managing outsourced development. About you: You'll be an experienced, innovative and motivated Mechanical Design Engineer. To carry out this role effectively you will need the following experience: Experience of using Solidworks CAD Package including Finite Element Analysis simulation tools Experience of using one of the following modelling packages or an equivalent alternative: COMSOL Multiphysics, Ansys Engineering Simulation, EMWorks Experience in Point of Care and/or home Medical Device Design Experience of working to ISO 13485 or FDA 21CFR, part 820 (or similar) Experience in use and maintenance of 3D Printing prototype fabrication systems Practical experience of the product verification and validation cycle for a medical device Apply for this Job
