Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Design & Subsystem Ownership

• Lead the mechanical design of components, mechanisms, and subsystems supporting optics, illumination, electronics packaging, sealing, sterilization, and thermal performance.
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into detailed mechanical designs, specifications, and drawings.
• Drive detailed design execution from concept through prototype build, verification, and manufacturing transfer.
• Apply precision engineering principles, tolerance-driven design, and best practices for robust mechanical integration.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Optics, Electrical Engineering, Firmware, Manufacturing, Reliability, Test, and Materials teams to resolve design tradeoffs and integration challenges.
• Actively participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and failure analysis discussions.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly across disciplines a

Prototyping, Testing & Analysis

• Build and iterate on proof-of-concept and engineering prototypes.
• Perform detailed 2D/3D tolerance analysis, stack-up modeling, and basic FEA/simulation to validate design margins.
• Develop and execute verification plans, DOEs, and durability testing to validate performance over the product lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot design and prototype issues using data-driven root-cause analysis.

Manufacturing, DFM/DFA & Supplier Engagement

• Drive DFM/DFA/DFS for assigned components and subsystems to enable scalable manufacturing.
• Collaborate with suppliers on fabrication, finishing, and joining processes (precision machining, molding, casting, coatings, bonding, etc.).
• Support supplier qualification, manufacturing ramp, and yield improvement activities.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Quality to support design transfer, sustaining engineering, and reliability improvements.

Documentation & Compliance

• Generate complete engineering documentation including drawings, tolerance analyses, specifications, test reports, and DHF content.
• Support regulatory and quality-system requirements throughout development.
• Contribute to intellectual property through invention disclosures and technical documentation.

Mentorship & Technical Growth

• Mentor junior engineers through design execution, best practices, and technical problem solving.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, tools, and standards within the team.
