Staff/Senior Mechanical Engineer

The role

You will lead the mechanical design and validation of a low-temperature plasma-based metrology sensor platform. You will work with a cross-functional team to research, develop, and validate new concepts and iterate designs based on client feedback.

What you will do

• Lead the mechanical design and validation of a low-temperature plasma-based metrology sensor platform.
• Interface with a small, cross-functional project team to research, develop, and validate new concepts.
• Perform fundamental studies to characterize and understand sensor and platform performance sensitivity.
• Interact with clients to iterate on the design based on feedback.
• Create and maintain technical design documentation including requirements, 3D and 2D data, assembly documentation, test processes and test reports.

Required qualifications

• B.S./M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with minimum of 4 years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience autonomously leading independent mechanical design projects for products integrated into larger systems.
• Experience with design of motion control mechanisms.
• Ability to properly constrain parts, define datums run through tolerance analysis.
• Use of GD&T to control tolerances in drawings.
• Setting requirements and selection of motors, couplers, stages, gearboxes.
• Static and dynamic stress and strain analysis including vibration testing and analysis.
• Some familiarity with part quality and measurement setup for CMM or OMM inspection.
• Experience with hands-on development of prototypes.
• Experience with initiating and maintaining supplier support.
• Experience with maintaining awareness of customer needs and iterating on designs accordingly.
• Experience with mechanical design for manufacturing lines.

Nice to have

• Programing of motion controllers
• Familiarity with standards requirements for high-voltage/low-voltage or gas distribution devices
• Prior exposure to high-precision, high-throughput industrial designs for material handling, metrology, and/or process automation applications
• Experience taking designs from initial concept development to product launch
• Design for reliability, manufacturing, and service (DfX)
• Ability to independently identify and procure parts, manage supplier relationships, and rapidly fabricate medium-fidelity prototypes
• Experience with metrology equipment and sensors, particularly those used for metrology of advanced materials
• Some familiarity with thin films related to Lithium- and Zinc-based battery electrodes, Thermal Barrier Coatings, photovoltaics, optical coatings, displays, packaging materials, semiconducting wafers,

Benefits

• Equity and Salary compensation depends on experience
• Health, Dental, Vision plans provided
• 401k matching provided
• 20 days of PTO per year
• approximately 15 paid US holidays per year
