Senior Mechanical EngineerVentricular assist devices are amongst
the most complex medical devices, with only two commercially
approved companies in the US after almost 50 years of development.
This position provides an exciting opportunity to work on these
fascinating devices, supporting the development of the next
generation of ventricular assist devices.The position is for an
engineer to develop and execute lab experiments related to
fluid/solid interactions and the fluid mechanics of the device as
it influences functional performance and product requirements.
Testing will be validating designs, characterizing response to
various inputs, and assessing technical performance of devices and
systems. There will also be lab work measuring forces and motions
of vibrating and rotating machinery so a background with the basics
of vibration and signal analysis is required. The work will involve
designing and deploying custom test equipment as well as using
standard engineering lab tools.A solid background in intermediate
fluid mechanics is needed. Understanding the basics of laminar and
turbulent flows, boundary layer flows, high and low Reynolds number
flows, and their analysis is essential. Experience with thin film
lubrication flows is desirable as well. Background and
understanding the basics of vibration and vibration analysis is
highly desirable.Required Skills And Education* Engineering BS with
at least three years experience in mechanical engineering or a
closely associated field (aerospace engineering, engineering
mechanics, applied mechanics, aeronautical engineering, or chemical
engineering).* Demonstrated experience performing fluid mechanics

assess the priority of each project with limited guidance.*
Excellent written and oral communications skills including
technical report writing documenting laboratory experiments with
summarized and detailed results. Ability to tailor written
communications to the technical needs and background of the
audience.* Analyze data and draw conclusions. Apply appropriate
statistical tests and criteria to characterize the fidelity of
conclusions. Understand the nature and influence of noise on data
and data-based conclusions.* Design and documentation of simple
jigs and fixtures. Collaborate with fabrication groups on
appropriate designs and materials.* Familiarity with operation and
use of lab electronics and diagnostic equipment (meters, scopes,
power supplies, signal analyzers, load cells, pressure and flow
meters, computers for instrument control and data acquisition,
etc.)Desired Skills And Education* Technical MS with at least three
years work experience.* Demonstrated experience developing fluid
mechanics experiments or industrial tests on pumps, rotating
machinery, or disk drives* Demonstrated experience with vibration
tests rotating equipment such as pumps, turbomachinery, motors, or
disk drives* Ability to design and run computer-controlled
instrumentation including USB and serial device communication for
data acquisition and analysis.* Familiarity with cardiac biomedical
devices.* Ability to read and understand peer-reviewed publications
related to our field and apply others learning to solving
problems.* Experience with an industry-standard 3D solid modeling
program.Other* Occasional need to lift 35-50 lb.* Work in a lab at
a bench, either sitting or standing for extended periods of time,
