Mechanical Engineer – Job Description

Location : San Bruno, CA | Full-time | Minimum 3 Days Onsite

Mission

The mission for this Mechanical Engineer position is to play a key role on Empo Health’s engineering team. Specifically, you will help further engineer our first product, a diagnostic scanner for diabetics, by helping us redesign from a pilot-scale product to a scalable product design, while also contributing design improvements and thinking into our next generation of products. This is a mid-level role that is hands-on and embedded in a small, agile hardware team. You’ll work closely with cross-functional partners and contribute directly to both short-term updates and long-term design strategy.

Outcomes (Next 12 Months)

• Contribute directly to the redesign from pilot production (~10 units / week) to scalable low-volume production (~1,000 units / quarter) of our current generation product.
• Contribute to mechanical rework strategies based on field feedback and internal testing.
• Develop and release robust mechanical designs in CAD with appropriate documentation and properly toleranced drawings.
• Improve production fixturing and test processes through design and documentation updates.
• Design components and assemblies suited for high-volume production methods, including injection-molded plastics, sheet metal, and machined parts.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to originate and execute verification and validation test plans.
• Travel as needed to contract manufacturer sites to support builds and design transfers.
• Work closely with the engineering team to influence product quality, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Help establish a culture of engineering excellence as we grow.
