Mechanical Engineer (Senior)
About The Position
Gems Setra is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer for its Critical Environments product team. The engineer will own the mechanical architecture and design of precision sensors that monitor pressure, flow, temperature, humidity, and air quality in mission-critical environments. The role involves developing robust, accurate, and reliable products for HVAC and environmental monitoring applications, while ensuring designs withstand demanding conditions and integrate effectively with electronics and firmware. The engineer will collaborate across engineering and manufacturing teams, lead testing and design improvements, and provide technical leadership for new product introduction and sustaining engineering.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree with at least 8 years of experience, or a master’s degree with at least 5 years of experience, in Mechanical Engineering.
- Strong background in sensor design for HVAC, building automation, industrial, or environmental monitoring applications.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent CAD tools, including advanced mechanical design and GD&T.
- Experience designing housings and sensing structures using metals, polymers, elastomers, and environmental-grade materials.
- Strong understanding of thermal behavior, airflow dynamics, sealing, and environmental protection, including IP ratings.
- Experience designing for manufacturing methods used in HVAC and environmental sensors, including machining, injection molding, die casting, and welding or brazing sensing elements.
- Collaborative mindset, strong communication skills, and interest in building high-performance, reliable sensing products.
Nice To Haves
- Knowledge of differential pressure sensing, piezoresistive or capacitive elements, MEMS, and sensor packaging in harsh environments.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for HVAC and environmental monitoring sensors, including pressure transducers, differential pressure sensors, flow sensors, and IAQ/IEQ devices.
- Create CAD models, drawings, GD&T, material specifications, and tolerance analyses optimized for accuracy and manufacturability.
- Perform FEA and thermal analysis to validate mechanical robustness under HVAC-relevant conditions, including airflow, vibration, humidity, and thermal drift.
- Lead prototyping, environmental qualification, and reliability testing, including pressure cycling, humidity and condensation testing, thermal shock, and leak testing.
- Optimize sensor mechanical interfaces for installation in air ducts, cleanrooms, mechanical rooms, and building automation systems.
- Partner with Electrical, Firmware, Test Engineering, and Manufacturing teams on sensor integration and verification.
- Drive VAVE, cost reduction, and design improvements across the product lifecycle.
- Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and support for NPI and sustaining engineering activities.
- Lead and participate in DFMEA for new and existing products.
- Manage multiple small- to medium-sized engineering projects, including schedule and financial tracking.
