• Update engineering drawings, revisions, and controlled documentation
• Apply Design Control principles throughout the product lifecycle
• Support product updates driven by testing, validation, and prototyping results
• Work with mechanical assemblies featuring moving parts such as springs, collapsible mechanisms, and precision components
• Ensure compliance within a regulated industry environment

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of mechanical/product design experience
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (this is a must-have)
• Experience designing plastic parts and mechanical assemblies
• Solid understanding of engineering drawings and revision control
• Working knowledge of Design Controls
• Medical device experience and ISO 13485 familiarity preferred
• Experience in other regulated industries (aerospace, defense, etc.) is also highly valued

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Long-term, stable contract assignment (1+ year)
• Competitive hourly compensation
• Full employee benefits package including:
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Three medical plan options
• Dental and vision coverage
• 401(k)
