The Manager of Mechanical Engineering & Design leads the development of Myomo’s wearable robotic orthotic platform (MyoPro), advancing state-of-the-art human-assistive robotics that restore upper-limb function and improve patient independence. This role oversees the mechanical engineering team, driving innovation in robotics, parametric customization, and human-centered wearable solutions. A primary focus is ensuring that engineering decisions directly support improved patient outcomes — including functional mobility, comfort, ease of use, adherence, and quality of life.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the mechanical design and development of wearable robotic orthotic systems
Drive innovation in lightweight structures, actuation integration, and human-robot interaction
Optimize designs for durability, performance, manufacturability, and regulatory compliance
Ensure seamless integration of mechanical designs into electrical and software solutions
Oversee development of parametric CAD models to support scalable customization of orthoses
Advance digital workflows that enable rapid configuration for patient-specific fit
Establish modeling standards and automation strategies within SolidWorks
Improve efficiency of custom device adaptation while maintaining design controls
Champion ergonomic and biomechanical design principles
Ensure products prioritize comfort, weight optimization, adjustability, and long-term wearability
Incorporate clinician and patient feedback into iterative design improvements
Drive usability testing and validation efforts to enhance patient experience
Lead, mentor, and develop the Mechanical Engineering team
Conduct rigorous design reviews and technical evaluations
Foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and patient-focused innovation
Allocate resources and manage timelines to meet product milestones
Foster and manage a high-performance design and development environment
Oversee SolidWorks, PDM systems, Confluence, and other collaboration tools
Establish best practices for parametric modeling, file management, and revision control
Ensure engineering tools align with Design Control and quality system requirements
Continuously improve workflows to support scalability and product evolution
Ensure compliance with medical device Design Controls and documentation standards
Support verification and validation, and production improvements
Lead design transfer and support manufacturing scale-up
