Job descriptionExpertise in mechanical design using SolidWorks on molding and cast metal part fabrication. Familiarity with IP-rated designs and environmental testing (shock, vibration, thermal cycling). Knowledge of optical sensor packaging and EMI / thermal isolation strategies. Deep experience with thermal management, environmental sealing, and ruggedized enclosures. Strong background in precision mechanisms, DFM / DFA, and volume production processes. Excellent collaboration, interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. Preferred : Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. 10+ years of experience in mechanical design for complex electromechanical or optoelectronic systems. In exceptional cases, significant relevant experience may substitute for formal degree requirements. The company was founded in 2012 by two industry pioneering scientists, Bill Parrish, PhD and Tim Fitzgibbons PhD, who spent 40 years advancing the state of military and professional-grade thermal imaging technology. Following their previous two companies, Amber Engineering, and Indigo Systems, each with successful acquisitions, Seek Thermal is their third venture with the mission to make thermal imaging a part of everyday life. An unseen world of energy surrounds us. We only see some of it with our eyes, light from a source of energy reflected on objects around us. But even though we can’t see it, all objects produce or retain heat. When viewed through a Seek Thermal camera, this world of heat can be converted to images, providing important information useful in solving everyday problems that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Seek thermal imaging lets you see the world of heat instead of the world of light. Seek Thermal is partnered with Raytheon and NXP to design and deliver high-quality, affordable thermal imaging sensors and products across the globe at scale. As one of the few companies in the world capable of building sensors, Seek Thermal has shipped hundreds of thousands of thermal imaging products around the world as it continues to make thermal imaging an accessible, everyday tool, so people can do their jobs safer, faster, and smarter.

Description :
Hi, We’re Seek Thermal.
Join us on our mission to make thermal imaging a part of everyday life!
At Seek, you'll get to work with the world-class engineers that pioneered the technology, and now they're building an organization that’s built on that same pioneering spirit…but we can’t do it alone. We want your ideas, your enthusiasm, and your passion to help us make thermal imaging a part of everyday life, for everyone.
We love where we work, and so can you.
What We’re Looking For
The Senior Lead Mechanical Engineer will serve as a technical leader of mechanical design for next-generation thermal imaging products. This role requires deep technical expertise, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to guide a team through the entire product lifecycle, from early concept to volume manufacturing. You will collaborate with electrical, optical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to deliver rugged, high-performance, and manufacturable products, while setting best practices. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will report directly to the VP of Engineering.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the mechanical design architecture for multiple thermal imaging products and platforms.
- Define mechanical design strategies that optimize performance, manufacturability, and cost.
- Oversee complex tolerance, stress, thermal, and modal analyses.
- Drive design from concept to production, including prototyping, EV / DV / PV Test phases, and launch.
- Lead critical design and cross-functional reviews to ensure alignment across disciplines.
- Manage schedules, risks, and trade-offs for mechanical deliverables.
- Implement advanced mechanical solutions for ruggedized, high-precision, and thermally constrained systems.
- Champion DFM / DFA practices and ensure smooth transition to high-volume manufacturing.
- Establish and enforce engineering best practices, design standards, and documentation rigor.
- Partner with optics, electronics, and industrial design teams to ensure seamless integration.
- Engage with suppliers and SME's for material selection, process validation, and tooling optimization
SKILLS KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES :
Lead cross-disciplinary innovation at the intersection of optics, electronics, and AI.
