About
The Role At Sava, we are looking for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our multi‑disciplinary team to develop a next‑generation biosensing device. In this role, you will contribute significantly to the mechanical design of our product. You will work closely with a diverse team of engineers and scientists across all stages of development, from R&D to scale production. We value people who are keen to continuously learn, adapt and contribute to both product development and team growth. The ideal candidate is highly motivated and driven, with a strong desire to grow and advance within our rapidly growing company.
What You’ll Do
Support mechanical design activities for a medical device throughout its development lifecycle, including concepting, prototype design, fixture design, design for manufacture and design for assembly
Solve complex mechanical, electromechanical and biomechanical problems through analysis of data, experimental design and creative design
Contribute towards debugging and root cause analysis efforts
Research existing and emerging technologies and, where relevant, apply them to the betterment of our product
Provide technical oversight and support more junior team members in developing their engineering skills
Carry out thorough independent design reviews
Collaborate with external manufacturers and partners to support the fabrication of mechanical components
Ensure proper engineering processes are carried out including, among others, identifying and quantifying risks, generating requirements and detailed documentation of results
Have ownership over your own work, planning, budgeting and carrying it through to completion
Collect and act upon observations from operators and feedback from users to improve the design and manufacturing process of our product
What We’re Looking For
4-7 years' experience in mechanical engineering in a regulated field and end‑to‑end product development
High competence in 3D mechanical design software
Significant experience in designing for manufacture in a variety of fabrication techniques (3D printing, machining, forming, injection‑moulding etc.)
Confidence in working with multi‑disciplinary teams, and understanding engineering trade‑offs and interface control requirements
Creative but realistic approach to problem solving and product design
Strong technical communication skills
Ability to leverage engineering tools and software to improve efficiency and quality of work
Ability to analyse tolerance stack‑ups to design robust mechanical systems
Skill with hands‑on engineering, assembly and craft work
Solid foundation in fundamental engineering principles (solid mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials etc.)
Good understanding of product development processes and relevant standards and regulations
Willingness to contribute to building the company’s processes and support training
Bonus Points For
Confidence in basic coding, as applied to analysis of data or hardware control
Practical experience with engineering analysis tools, such as MATLAB / Octave, LabView, ANSYS etc.
Foundation in bioengineering and understanding the interaction between engineered products and the human body
Experience designing microfabricated and high‑precision components
Familiarity with basic electronics
Experience with fluidics and / or microfluidics
Understanding of pneumatic circuits
Why Sava? This is a high‑ownership, high‑responsibility role in a company that’s building something complex, meaningful, and fast. The expectations are high, the learning curve is steep, and the work is often messy—but the impact is real.
We don’t have room for egos or passengers. What we do have is a team of thoughtful, driven, and mission‑aligned people who are committed to building something better—and doing it with urgency and integrity.
