# **About us**
SiPhox Health is building a first-of-its-kind consumer diagnostics platform that brings complex biochemical analyses into the home through integrated silicon photonics, microfluidics, embedded systems, and advanced assay development. Our chip-based solution integrates state-of-the-art biochemistry, photonics, electronics, and microfluidics to deliver the power of large laboratory instruments in a portable device.
# **The role**
You will be hands on designing and building the first of its kind home testing system. This person will directly own key parts of the system, with a wide scope to have an impact. You will work closely with the production teams to create systems that are elegant to use, but also manufacturable at scale.
### **Responsibilities**
* Lead mechanical designs for defined subsystems of medical and diagnostic devices, ensuring functionality, reliability, and manufacturability
* Design and review parts and assemblies optimized for high-volume injection molding and automated assembly methods
* Apply rapid prototyping techniques to accelerate product development and iteration, with minimal guidance
* Plan and execute engineering tests to validate designs and improve performance
* Create and review detailed design specifications, including 3D and 2D MCAD models following ASME Y14.5 or ISO 8015 standards
* Closely collaborate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing engineers and scientists, often owning the mechanical side of complex technical challenges
* Lead root cause analysis and drive design or process changes to enhance product quality and performance
* Own system design, system and sub-system requirements and verification plans for your subsystems
* Mentor Mechanical Design Engineers on MCAD practices, DFM/DFA, and design-verification approach
* Review other engineers' designs and drawings for manufacturability and compliance with design standards
* Take a leading role in supplier and vendor conversations for the components/subsystems you own
### **What we’re looking for**
* Deep knowledge of the challenges of scaling products from prototype to high volume production
* Real experience working with pilot and full volume production systems, implementing quality controls and maximizing the product’s quality and yield
* Excellent knowledge of injection molding design, including tolerance studies
* Excellent knowledge of mechanical assembly techniques, including ultrasonic welding, laser welding, clip design and adhesives
* Creative problem solver
* Expert MCAD user
### **Nice to have**
* Demonstrated ability to design mechanical mechanisms, from concepting through to volume production
* Experience in medical devices, or with ISO 13485, ISO 14971, or other design controls process
* Experience working at a manufacturing site, as a process, test or tool engineer
* Optics, photonics, fluidics, or microfluidics exposure
* Experience in SolidWorks and OnShape
