Role Purpose

Design and develop mechanical systems that enable advanced technologies to transition from research and development into scalable, production-ready manufacturing solutions. This role focuses on translating early concepts into robust mechanical designs that perform reliably in high-volume manufacturing environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design precision mechanical components, assemblies, and subsystems for advanced manufacturing equipment.
• Collaborate across mechanical, process, controls, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs meet functional, quality, and production requirements.
• Support the evolution of designs from early development and prototyping through pilot builds and manufacturing deployment.
• Apply sound engineering judgment to ensure designs are robust, serviceable, and scalable.
• Partner with suppliers and fabrication partners to refine designs for manufacturability and cost effectiveness.
• Contribute to troubleshooting, design iteration, and continuous improvement as systems transition into production use.

Required Experience & Attributes

• Strong experience designing mechanisms, structures, and assemblies intended for production use—not just prototypes.
• Demonstrated ability to work across disciplines (process, controls, manufacturing, quality) to deliver integrated solutions.
• Technical credibility that enables influence across teams, functions, and partner organizations.
• Experience supporting the transition of technologies from R&D or pilot environments into manufacturing.
• Comfortable working in environments where requirements evolve as learning progresses.
• Must be available for significant travel, primarily domestic, to multiple locations to support business needs. International travel could be required as well.

Preferred Capabilities

• Minimum Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related discipline
• 8+ years of applied mechanical design experience in manufacturing, automation, or industrial equipment environments. Will consider less years of experience with advanced degree.
• Experience designing for automation, precision assembly, or high-throughput manufacturing systems.
• Familiarity with tolerance analysis, materials selection, and design for reliability.
• Experience collaborating with external suppliers, integrators, or contract manufacturers.
• Strong CAD proficiency and experience managing design documentation through release and revision cycles.
