Designing mechanical systems that form the core of our diagnostic platforms, including mechanisms, assemblies, enclosures, you support bringing quality control of cell therapies closer to the patient.

Job description

At miDiagnostics, we are transforming how cell therapies are tested and released. Our rapid, real-time PCR-based sterility test is designed to bring quality control closer to the patient — faster, safer, and smarter.

To make this vision a reality, we are looking for a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys creating meaningful, tangible solutions. Someone who is as comfortable sketching ideas as they are refining precision assemblies in CAD, and who finds motivation in solving complex problems that bridge disciplines.

You will join a multidisciplinary team where engineering meets biology and microfluidics — a place where every prototype brings us closer to redefining personalized medicine.

In this role, you will:

  • Design and refine the mechanical systems that form the core of our diagnostic platforms, including mechanisms, assemblies, and enclosures.

  • Define tolerances, materials, and CTQs to ensure each design is reliable, manufacturable, and fit for purpose.

  • Bring concepts to life through prototyping, testing, and iterative improvement.

  • Collaborate with suppliers, manufacturing partners, and internal experts to transition designs from prototype to scalable production.

  • Take ownership of design documentation, risk assessments, and verification activities to ensure technical excellence and compliance.

Job requirements

  • Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

  • 3–5 years of experience in product development, preferably within medical devices, diagnostics, or laboratory instrumentation.

  • Proficiency in SolidWorks and 3D CAD design.

  • Proven experience working with complex assemblies, precision components, and moving parts.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured and detail-oriented mindset.

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional environment.

  • Familiarity with ISO 13485 or other medical device regulatory standards is a plus.
