The Mechanical Design Engineer / CAD & PDM Specialist will take ownership of the VERO Product Data Management (PDM) system and ensure consistent, accurate control of CAD models and drawings. This role will support both new product development (cassette, console, and accessories) and sustaining engineering, as well as create production documentation (fixtures, tooling) and assist with R&D builds.
This position requires strong CAD skills, attention to detail, and an understanding of a regulated environment. Hands-on shop experience with machining is a plus, as you will occasionally support prototype fabrication and equipment builds.
