Sr. Mechanical Engineer
About The Position
Join a dynamic and innovative R&D team dedicated to developing the next generation of light scattering, field-flow fractionation (FFF), and chromatography-based analytical instruments. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will lead the design, development, integration, and optimization of precision mechanical and optomechanical systems from concept through production. Working in a multidisciplinary environment spanning optics, fluidics, electronics, firmware, software, and chemistry, you will be responsible for architecting robust mechanical solutions that enable best-in-class instrument performance, reliability, manufacturability, and serviceability. You will play a key role in advancing new technology platforms while mentoring junior engineers and driving engineering best practices.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering
- Minimum of 3 years industry experience in design and analysis of precision mechanical/electromechanical components/assemblies for production
- Proficiency designing precision mechanical components and assemblies taking into consideration design factors such as ease of manufacture, availability of materials, interchangeability, ease of assembly, and cost
- Proficiency using 3D parametric modeling software (preferably Solidworks or UGNX)
- Proficiency conducting Finite Element Analysis (CFD and experience with ANSYS considered a plus)
- Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles, materials, solid and fluid mechanics, and heat transfer
- Strong knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5 2009 as well as industry drafting standards
- Experience with DFM (Design for Manufacture) methodology
- Experience processing ECO's, practicing organized revision control using a Product Data Management tool (PDM - SAP preferred)
- Fluency in English - written and spoken
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Ability to collaborate effectively within and outside of team, possessing strong interpersonal and communication skills to work effectively with management, peers, suppliers and customers
