Job Description

Essential Functions/Major Responsibilities:

  1. Participate in all phases of product development, including concept development, detailed design, prototyping, testing, system integration, validation, and manufacturing release.
  2. Design high-precision mechanical assemblies and mechanisms for integration into automated equipment, including assemblies supporting machine vision cameras, optics, illumination, sensors, and related components.
  3. Apply sound mechanical engineering principles to achieve required structural rigidity, mechanical stability, alignment accuracy, repeatability, serviceability, and reliability.
  4. Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to mechanical designs.
  5. Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles throughout the product development process.
  6. Design machined components, sheet-metal parts, aluminum extrusion assemblies, fixtures, tooling, and other mechanical components as required.
  7. Prototype and evaluate new mechanical concepts and participate in proof-of-concept development.
  8. Evaluate mechanical, thermal, vibration, alignment, and other factors that may affect the accuracy and stability of precision assemblies.
  9. Conduct root cause investigations for mechanical, electromechanical, and system-level performance issues and develop appropriate corrective actions.
  10. Collaborate with electrical, software, vision, systems, manufacturing, and other engineering disciplines during product development and system integration.
  11. Collaborate with suppliers to evaluate commercial components and support the design and manufacture of custom mechanical components.
  12. Generate and maintain complete engineering documentation, including engineering drawings, assembly drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), specifications, and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
  13. Support prototype builds, system integration, validation testing, design verification, and the transfer of released designs to manufacturing.
  14. Participate in engineering design reviews and provide technical input on mechanical design and system integration.
  15. Support continuous improvement of existing products, including performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and serviceability improvements.

Supervisory Responsibility: None

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
