Mechanical Design Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 4 years of mechanical design experience for precision hardware products.
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including assemblies, detailed part modeling, and drawings.
• Working knowledge of GD&T and its practical application to functional and inspection requirements.
• Experience performing worst-case and statistical tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Experience with tool and fixture design.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with precision optomechanical design, such as lens mounting and adhesive bonding.
• Experience with thermal analysis and structural FEA, especially for compact electro-optical packaging.
• Hands-on machining, assembly, or test experience.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical components, housings, assemblies, and development platforms for LiDAR sensors in SolidWorks.
• Create complete, manufacturing-ready drawings with appropriate GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
• Perform tolerance stack-up analyses to verify fit, function, and optical alignment budgets.
• Translate system-level requirements into robust mechanical architectures and detailed designs.
• Design fixtures, jigs, and tooling for assembly, alignment, inspection, and testing.
• Support and improve lens alignment stations and related optical assembly processes.
• Manage engineering change requests and orders (ECR/ECO), maintaining accurate documentation and bills of materials.
• Work with suppliers to resolve manufacturability questions and ensure part quality.
• Drive design-to-cost and value-engineering efforts to reduce part cost and complexity without compromising performance.
• Collaborate with optical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers to develop robust designs from requirements.
• Iterate through prototypes and builds, then advance designs toward production.

Benefits

• Catered lunch every day at headquarters.
