Senior Mechanical Engineer

At Eko, we’re dedicated to providing healthcare professionals with industry leading digital tools to hear and understand their patients’ hearts and lungs. With our platform, clinicians can detect cardiopulmonary disease with higher accuracy, diagnose with more confidence, manage treatment effectively, and ultimately give their patients the best care possible.  

With over $165M in funding from partners like 3M and the Mayo Clinic, Eko has become one of the fastest growing digital health companies, doubling our customer base in the last year to over 500,000 clinicians across 4,000 U.S. hospitals. We’ve built a tremendously talented, diverse, and mission driven team and are proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work®. Together we are committed to investing in each other and our mission to ensure all patients have access to high quality care.

We're seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design and manufacturing of our next-generation digital stethoscopes. You'll own the complete mechanical development lifecycle, from concept through mass production, working at the intersection of consumer electronics, medical devices, and advanced acoustics.

This role demands world-class mechanical engineering skills paired with curiosity and competence across multiple disciplines, including electronics, acoustics, manufacturing processes, and data analysis. While you'll be the mechanical expert on our team, you'll also need to speak the language of our AI, firmware, and clinical teams to create products that meet both rigorous medical standards and consumer expectations.

We're looking for someone who thrives on variety, equally comfortable sketching initial concepts, building rapid prototypes in the lab, optimizing designs for manufacturability, and ensuring compliance with FDA requirements. You'll need to seamlessly shift between the methodical precision required for medical device development and the creative problem-solving of a fast-moving startup environment. This is a rare opportunity to apply deep mechanical expertise across an unusually broad range of challenges while building products that directly impact patient care. 

This is a hybrid role with required onsite presence on Tue/Wed/Thu.

• Product Development:
• Design mechanical systems and enclosures using SolidWorks for advanced medical devices
• Create detailed drawings, assemblies, and manufacturing specifications
• Conduct tolerance analysis and design for manufacturability (DFM)

• Manufacturing & Supply Chain:
• Work closely with our supply chain and program management team to engage with contract manufacturers and component vendors globally
• Work with CMs to design and optimize manufacturing processes for scale production
• Lead design for assembly (DFA) and cost optimization initiatives

• Testing & Validation:
• Design and execute experimental protocols using Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology
• Develop test fixtures and validation procedures for medical device compliance
• Analyze statistical data to drive design decisions and process improvements

• Cross-functional Collaboration:
• Work closely with electronics teams on mechanical-electrical integration
• Collaborate with industrial designers on form factor and user experience
• Interface with firmware engineers on sensor mounting and signal optimization 

• Mastery of Computer-Aided Design (SolidWorks preferred)
• 3D printing and rapid prototyping expertise
• Manufacturing process design (injection molding, machining, assembly)
• Materials selection and mechanical testing protocols
• GD&T and tolerance analysis
• Understanding of acoustics fundamentals and audio signal processing
• Ability to read schematics and understand electronics integration
• Experience with medical device quality standards (ISO 13485 or similar) 

• CAD data management and PLM systems
• Python scripting for data analysis and automation
• Familiarity with design thinking and user-centered design principles
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and simulation tools
• Six Sigma or other quality methodologies
• Experience with regulatory submissions (FDA 510(k) process) 

• Eko was recognized by “Great Place to Work” in 2020 and 2021
• Paid-time off
• Medical/Dental/Vision, Disability + Life Insurance
• One Medical membership
• Parental Leave
• 401k Matching
• Flexible schedules
• Wellness programs (Wellness Wednesdays, Time off)
• Wellness perks (Headspace, Ginger, Aaptiv, Physera) 
• Learning and Development stipend
