GE HealthCare is a leading global medical technology and digital solutions innovator. They are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join their Hardware Engineering team, focusing on the development of PET cyclotron and radiochemistry production systems. The role involves mechanical design and development, ensuring robustness and reliability in complex technical systems.
Responsibilities:
- Take responsibility for mechanical design and development from concept through production within complex, high-precision technical systems
- Develop and refine mechanical solutions across high-precision mechanical structures, vacuum systems, cooling systems, pressure-containing components, and integrated mechanical assemblies
- Design components operating in environments influenced by RF fields, magnetic fields, and radiation
- Drive and implement engineering changes for the installed base, ensuring robustness, backward compatibility, and global serviceability
- Balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, long lifetime (>20 years), and Variable Cost Productivity (VCP)
- Perform and interpret structural and thermal simulations using ANSYS (FEA), and contribute to CFD analyses when applicable
- Contribute to risk management activities (e.g., FMEA) and ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., ISO 13485)
- Create and maintain detailed 3D models, drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation using 3D CAD and PLM systems
- Support prototyping, verification testing, root cause investigations, and continuous product improvement
- Contribute to technical decision-making and actively shape design standards and engineering practices
Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
- Solid experience in mechanical design within complex industrial or regulated environments
- Strong experience in 3D CAD design. Experience with PTC Creo is highly advantageous, as it is the primary CAD tool used within the team
- Experience working with installed base products and engineering change processes
- Experience with high-integrity mechanical systems such as vacuum technology, cooling systems, pressure-containing components, or precision assemblies
- Understanding of risk management and regulatory environments in product development
- Knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and design for reliability and long service life
- Experience with PLM systems (e.g., PTC Windchill, MyWorkshop or similar)
- Experience with simulation tools such as ANSYS (FEA and/or CFD) is considered a strong advantage
- Ability to work independently, take ownership, and contribute to technical direction in a collaborative environment
