Camera & Sensor Systems Mechanical Design Engineer

Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group in Boston designs and develops innovative mechanical products from concept to prototype, focusing on camera- and sensor-based systems. You will create 3D models and drawings with SolidWorks, apply thermal management, and collaborate with electrical and software engineers for seamless integration.

The role emphasizes rigorous design validation, tolerance analysis, and manufacturability, with independence to drive projects and deliver high‑quality designs.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical product design, preferably with a focus on camera and sensor-based systems.
• Strong mechanical engineering and mechanical design background with proven product design experience, including design for manufacturing.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assemblies, and detailed mechanical drawings.
• Experience with thermal simulations and thermal management in product design.
• Hands-on experience with tolerance stack-ups and their application to mechanical assemblies.
• Experience with testing, structured problem-solving, and root cause analysis.
• Strong understanding of production design principles, including design for manufacturability and assembly.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of projects, and deliver high-quality designs with minimal supervision.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop innovative mechanical products from initial concept through prototype, with a focus on camera-focused and sensor-focused solutions
• Create detailed 3D models and drawings using SolidWorks to support product development and documentation
• Apply thermal management principles and perform thermal simulations to ensure reliable operation of camera and sensor systems
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical and software engineers, to ensure seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, and software components
• Develop, document, and manage mechanical design requirements to ensure products meet or exceed performance, reliability, and quality standards
• Conduct design validation activities, including testing, tolerance stack-ups, and design reviews, to confirm design intent and performance
• Perform root cause analysis and structured problem-solving to resolve design and product issues
• Incorporate design for manufacturability and assembly principles into all designs to support efficient and cost-effective production
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation, including drawings, specifications, and test reports
• Work independently with minimal supervision to drive projects forward, manage priorities, and meet project deadlines
