Mechanical R&D Engineer II – Bioprocessing Product Development

Work Schedule Standard (Mon-Fri) Environmental Conditions Adherence to all Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Safety Standards, Laboratory Setting, Office Job Description Mechanical R&D Engineer II – Bioprocessing Product Development Location: Logan, Utah Build Products That Help Advance Life-Saving Science At Thermo Fisher Scientific, your engineering work can have an impact far beyond the products you design. Our technologies help customers develop and manufacture biologics, vaccines, and other therapies that improve lives around the world. We are looking for a Mechanical R&D Engineer II – Bioprocessing Product Development to join our Single-Use Technologies team in Logan, Utah. This is a hands-on product development opportunity where you'll help take products from concept → prototype → test → commercialization. You'll solve meaningful mechanical and system-level engineering challenges while working with engineers, scientists, manufacturing, quality, and other technical teams. If you enjoy designing real products, solving complex mechanical problems, building and testing prototypes, and ultimately seeing something you designed move into production, this could be a great next step in your engineering career.

You'll contribute across the product development lifecycle and have the opportunity to see your engineering work progress from an idea to a commercialized product. Own mechanical designs from concept through commercialization, including early concepts, prototypes, testing, validation, and production Design mechanical hardware, components, and flexible systems for single-use bioprocessing applications Translate customer and product requirements into practical, scalable engineering solutions Create 3D CAD models, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings Apply GD&T, tolerance analysis, and design-for-manufacturing and assembly principles Perform engineering calculations and analyses to guide design decisions Build and evaluate prototypes and support verification and validation testing Identify technical risks using tools such as FMEA and develop effective mitigation strategies Investigate product and design issues, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions Partner with electrical, systems, manufacturing, quality, and other engineering teams to integrate complete solutions Participate in design reviews and help guide technical decisions Support engineering change orders and product documentation within our quality systems Contribute ideas that improve our products, processes, and ways of working What You'll Bring Required Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline 2+ years of relevant product development, hardware, mechanical, or systems engineering experience Experience using 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo/ProE, or equivalent Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and fundamental mechanical design principles Experience applying engineering calculations and structured problem-solving methods Understanding of common manufacturing processes such as machining, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering and business functions Strong written and verbal communication skills Ability to travel approximately 10–20% Experience That Can Help You Succeed Experience in one or more of the following areas would be valuable: Aerospace or defense product development Medical devices or other regulated products Laboratory equipment or scientific instrumentation Automation or electromechanical equipment Advanced manufacturing Bioprocessing or single-use technologies PDM/PLM systems Verification and validation FDA- or ISO-regulated quality systems FMEA, root-cause analysis, and engineering change control Design for manufacturability, assembly, and serviceability Why This Role Is Different See Your Designs Become Real Products This isn't a role focused on maintaining someone else's
