Responsibilities
- Contribute to the mechanical design of assemblies and subsystems, from concept through production.
- Prototype, test, and iterate on designs using in-house tools like 3D printers and a full machine shop.
- Collaborate across disciplines to integrate mechanical systems into a complex hardware-software product.
- Support manufacturing efforts with jigs, fixtures, and design-for-assembly improvements.
- Participate in design reviews, documentation, and system bring-up activities.
Job Requirements
- Strong foundation in mechanical engineering and product development.
- Ability to evaluate problems from multiple angles: user needs, manufacturability, robustness, cost, and aesthetics.
- Proficiency in mechanical design and CAD (e.g., Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360).
- Experience in a machine shop and rapid prototyping.
- Comfortable collaborating across teams in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
- Proficiency in writing code (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for computations or data analysis.
- Bonus points for experience designing motion systems, thermally-sensitive assemblies, or optics mounts.
