About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer (or Advanced Engineer, depending on experience) to take ownership of mechanical design, prototyping, and improvement of our next-generation card shufflers and accessories. This role demands a deep understanding of precision mechanical systems with a focus on stepper motor-driven motion, high part-count assemblies, and reliability under 24/7 operating conditions. You will be the mechanical thought leader on a multidisciplinary team of electronics, firmware, and software engineers, helping us orchestrate and refine complex motion systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Master's preferred).
• 7+ years of experience in high-complexity mechanical design, ideally involving stepper-motor-driven motion systems.
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and experience managing high part-count assemblies with precise tolerances.
• Experience in DFM, prototyping, and design documentation for production-grade mechanical systems.
• Demonstrated ability to lead drafters and communicate technical design clearly across teams.
• Strong vendor engagement and component specification skills to ensure optimal part performance and reliability.
• Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in casino equipment, gaming hardware, or regulated electro-mechanical systems.
• Background in vending, robotics, kiosks, printers, or other fast-moving, precision mechanical equipment environments.
• Familiarity with UL, CE, or other industry-specific compliance standards for hardware products.

Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical design and development of complex, high-reliability card shufflers composed of hundreds of components, including numerous precision moving parts.
• Design and document assemblies using SolidWorks with a focus on DFM, tight tolerances, and long-term reliability.
• Select and specify stepper motors, drive systems, and supporting mechanical components for synchronized operation.
• Direct and mentor drafters and mechanical technicians to ensure design intent and manufacturing clarity.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, software, electronics) to integrate and validate full systems.
• Ensure meticulous vendor and component selection with close attention to spec matching and quality assurance.
• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues in the lab, factory, and field; support root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support product launch efforts including pilot builds, design validation, and documentation hand-off to manufacturing.
