Jobbeschreibung

My client is looking for an exceptional Chief Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical and technical development of an advanced, high-power laser system.

This is a genuinely hands-on technical leadership role with significant ownership of the mechanical architecture, system integration and engineering development strategy — taking complex technology from early-stage R&D through to robust, reliable field deployment.

You’ll lead a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists while remaining close to the technical detail and solving some challenging problems across mechanical, thermal, optical and systems engineering.

The role

• Lead the mechanical and technical development of a high-average-power laser system from R&D through to deployment.
• Own the mechanical architecture and system-level engineering approach across structures, mechanisms, thermal management, materials, packaging and integration.
• Lead the design and development of complex mechanical and optomechanical systems, balancing performance, reliability and manufacturability.
• Oversee integration of optics, lasers, electronics, sensors, thermal systems and supporting infrastructure.
• Drive technical decisions, design reviews, prototyping, testing and engineering development.
• Solve complex challenges around structural integrity, thermal performance, vibration, alignment, tolerances and system integration.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams across optics, electronics, controls and systems engineering.

What we’re looking for

• Significant professional experience in Mechanical Engineering and complex hardware development.
• Strong experience with optics, photonics, lasers or precision electro-mechanical systems.
• Extensive experience developing and integrating high-average-power or thermally demanding systems.Strong knowledge of structures, mechanisms, materials, thermal management, vibration and precision engineering.
• Experience developing the mechanical infrastructure and supporting systems around complex laser or optical systems.
• A strong systems-engineering mindset and the ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Experience designing hardware for harsh or demanding operating environments.
• Advanced mechanical CAD experience, ideally Siemens NX or similar.
• Zemax or other optical design experience would be advantageous.
