Cryoport Systems
Sr. Mechanical Engineer-USA
Join to apply for the Sr. Mechanical Engineer-USA role at MVE Biological Solutions
MVE Biological Solutions is the leading global manufacturer of vacuum insulated products and cryogenic systems. More than 50 years ago, they set the standard for storage of biological materials at low temperatures. Today, they continue to exceed these standards. Industries from around the world look to MVE for excellence and innovation. Their solutions empower industries to better utilize cryogenic technology. In this manner, MVE continues to make a vital contribution in today’s biomedical life sciences industry.
Position Summary The Senior Mechanical Engineer will be responsible for leading and supporting projects and products that span the full product lifecycle, from new product design and development to product release and related sustaining activities. This is a hands‑on engineering position that will require the candidate to spend time in the office, lab and on the manufacturing floor. The engineering activities associated with this position may include but are not limited to mechanical design, system integration, prototype fabrication and process development for MVE’s Life Sciences products.
Responsibilities
Mechanical design of new products following MVE’s five phase product development process
Develop and guide prototype development and experimental design, ensuring alignment with strategic product goals
Author and refine test and validation protocols to evaluate new product concepts, design iterations, performance improvements, and cost-reduction strategies
Conduct thermal modeling and CFD simulations to optimize product performance and ensure thermal management requirements are met
Perform detailed tolerance stack‑ups and tolerance analysis to ensure fit, function, and manufacturability of critical assemblies
Integrate DFM and DFA principles early in the design process to reduce complexity, cost, and time to market
Apply reliability engineering tools and methodologies to predict product life, mitigate failure modes, and improve overall system robustness
Lead creation and maintenance of Design FMEAs, ensuring risk is identified, documented, and mitigated proactively
Author and approve required technical documentation for new products and line extensions, ensuring compliance with regulatory and quality standards
Collaborate with operations and quality leadership to establish robust, scalable production lines for new products
Develop product cost models and drive BOM accuracy and optimization using enterprise document management systems
Initiate, lead, and close out Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and/or Temporary Design Deviations (TDDs) with cross‑functional impact
Lead formal and informal design reviews, ensuring that design verification test plans and reports meet functional, regulatory, and risk‑based requirements
Assess and resolve complex product non‑conformances, driving root cause analysis and implementing corrective design actions
Stay current with emerging technologies, industry trends, and engineering best practices, and apply relevant advancements to improve product development processes and outcomes
Mentor junior engineers and serve as a technical resource for advanced product and process troubleshooting
Passion for, and alignment with, MVE’s mission
An individual who brings strong core values, quality, ethics, and integrity
A team player who embraces and champions the culture of collaboration and accountability
Strong work ethic and ability to deliver results and meet commitments in a dynamic environment
Exceptional and dynamic communication skills with the ability to inspire and influence others
An individual who works efficiently, effectively prioritizes and drives towards our corporate goals
Exceptional organizational skills with demonstrated ability to plan and manage multiple projects concurrently, strong analytical abilities, and process orientation
Good communication skills, both written and oral
Ability to work well both independently and as part of an integrated team
Willingness to travel when required
Willingness to continually embrace personal and professional development
Exceptional organizational and planning skills, strong analytical abilities, and process orientation
Demonstrates a business process orientation to developing solutions
Qualifications and Education Requirements
Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering or equivalent disciplines
Minimum 6‑10 years of full‑time engineering working experience
Must be proficient with SOLIDWORKS CAD software for mechanical design
Must possess a working knowledge of FEA software
Experience with Design of Experiments (DOE)
Must be proficient with Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications
Firm understanding of GD & T and experience with tolerance stack‑up calculations
First‑hand knowledge and experience with common manufacturing processes such as machining, welding, die casting, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, etc.
Preferred Skills
Experience with cryogenics
Experience with CFD modeling
Familiarity with the Medical Device Directive / Regulation (MDD/MDR), ISO 13485, FDA design controls or similar medical device regulatory requirements is a plus
