Mechanical Team Leader – R&D Department

The Mechanical Team Leader is responsible for leading a team of mechanical engineers within the R&D department, focusing on the design and development of mechanical systems for advanced medical devices. This role combines hands-on engineering leadership with direct team management and cross-functional collaboration, from concept through design validation and transfer to production, while ensuring compliance with medical regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a team of mechanical engineers, including task delegation, professional mentoring, and

performance tracking.

• Drive mechanical design processes of medical devices and components such as mechanisms, enclosures,

connectors, and subassemblies.

• Oversee design reviews, engineering testing, design verification and validation (V&V), and NPI (New Product

Introduction) processes.

• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, including electronics, software, quality, and regulatory affairs.

• Ensure compliance with relevant regulatory standards and guidelines (e.g., FDA, CE, ISO 13485).

• Perform engineering failure analysis (e.g., FMEA), plan and analyze experiments, and support problem-solving

throughout the product lifecycle.

• Author and review engineering documents: specifications, drawings, manufacturing instructions, and assembly

procedures.

• Interface with external vendors, manufacturers, and subcontractors during development and production stages.

• Support the professional growth of team members and promote continuous process improvement within the

team.

Requirements:

• B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering – mandatory;

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in mechanical development for medical devices – required.

• At least 2 years of experience in team leadership or technical lead roles in complex projects.

• Proficiency in SolidWorks or an equivalent CAD tool – mandatory.

• Proven experience in developing complex mechanical assemblies, including plastics, metals, actuators, seals, and

tubing interfaces.

• Hands-on experience in NPI processes and creating documentation in compliance with medical quality

standards.

• High-level proficiency in English (reading, writing, and speaking).
