All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.

Key Responsibilities:

Own the mechanical design and industrialization of Physics Package and MOT sub-systems, taking initial system concepts from upstream design teams and maturing them into robust, production-ready products.
Lead product design activities including architecture refinement, design iteration, tolerance definition, and design improvements that enhance manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, yield, and cost while maintaining system performance.
Serve as the technical owner of assigned products throughout their lifecycle, making engineering tradeoffs and driving design decisions from prototype through manufacturing release and sustained production.
Define, develop, validate, and continuously improve manufacturing processes for physics packages, MOT, and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) hardware.
Design and implement manufacturing tooling, fixtures, test equipment, and production workstations to enable efficient, repeatable, and scalable production.
Collaborate with physicists, engineers, technicians, suppliers, and cross-functional stakeholders to successfully transition products from development into manufacturing and support ongoing product improvements.
Develop and maintain product and manufacturing documentation including engineering drawings, assembly procedures, test procedures, engineering change orders, and production workflows.
Lead technical investigations, root-cause analysis, and data-driven improvement initiatives to improve product performance, quality, reliability, manufacturing yield, and operational efficiency.
Partner with vendors to establish strategic deliverables and aid in manufacturing planning to meet production rates.

YOU MUST HAVE:

Bachelor’s degree minimum
Minimum 7+ years of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering or product development experience

Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People’s Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.

WE VALUE:

Advanced degree in engineering
Experience transitioning complex prototype hardware into manufacturable, production-ready products.
Experience owning mechanical products through the full product lifecycle, including design refinement, product release, manufacturing introduction, and sustained production support.
Strong understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), tolerance analysis, and engineering change management.
Experience with ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems, precision mechanical assemblies, optics, photonics, atomic physics hardware, or other complex scientific instrumentation.
Experience developing manufacturing processes, tooling, fixtures, test equipment, and production workflows for low-volume, high-complexity products.
Demonstrated success leading multidisciplinary technical efforts and collaborating effectively with engineers, physicists, technicians, suppliers, and manufacturing teams.
Experience using CAD and PLM/PDM systems to manage product designs, engineering documentation, releases, and change orders.
Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems using a data-driven approach.
