Job Description

Position Summary

Mechanical Engineer on the research & development team focused on new product development for advanced scientific instrumentation. This role is responsible for the design, analysis, prototyping, and validation of systems intended for both laboratory and demanding field environments. The ideal candidate is innovative, hands-on, and passionate about building reliable, highperformance products that support scientific discovery and industrial applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop electro-mechanical components, assemblies, and integrated systems for new products.

• Support existing products, including troubleshooting issues, implementing design improvements, evaluating component obsolescence risks, and assisting with sustaining engineering activities to ensure ongoing product reliability and manufacturability.

• Collaborate with crossfunctional teams (electrical, software, manufacturing, quality) to translate product requirements into engineering specifications.

• Create and maintain engineering drawings, models, BOMs, and documentation compliant with company standards and relevant industry practices.

• Conduct structural, thermal, and vibration analyses using analytical methods and finite element analysis (FEA).

• Lead prototype fabrication, including handson building, 3D printing, and coordination with internal and external fabrication resources.

• Plan and execute verification and validation testing.

• Identify and address design risks, reliability concerns, and manufacturability challenges early in the product development cycle.

• Support DFM/DFT efforts, working closely with manufacturing engineering to ensure smooth transition from prototype to production.

• Participate in stagegate reviews, presenting design data, risks, and recommendations at each development milestone.

• Provide technical guidance and contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes, standards, and tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field. Sufficient combination of education and experience in lieu of a degree may be considered.

• 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in scientific instrumentation, sensors, industrial equipment, or related complex electromechanical systems.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks) and mechanical drafting. Experience with product lifecycle tools (PLM systems) preferred.

• Hands-on prototyping and test experience, including familiarity with machine shop tools and rapid prototyping methods.

• Background in manufacturing techniques such as CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, and/or additive manufacturing a plus.

• Strong understanding of mechanics, materials, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and general engineering principles.

• Experience with design for reliability (DFR), design for manufacturability (DFM), and working knowledge of FEA tools.

• Experience designing products for challenging operating environments (temperature, humidity, vibration, contamination, ruggedization) preferred.

• Ability to interpret and generate engineering documentation, including GD&T.

• Excellent problemsolving skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

• Strong communication and presentation skills, including comfort participating in technical design reviews.
