About the role

Abbott in Alameda, CA is seeking a seasoned mechanical design engineer to lead new medical device development and design transfer. You will address complex technical challenges, mentor peers, and drive cross-functional programs with Operations, Quality, and Regulatory teams. The role emphasizes design for manufacturability, regulatory compliance (FDA ISO 13485), and robust design documentation, with significant impact on product timelines and patient outcomes.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
