Formación

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related discipline.
• Zero to two years of professional experience; internships, lab work or projects valued.
• Working knowledge of 3D CAD and mechanical drawing practices.
• Understanding of mechanical design fundamentals, materials, manufacturing processes, and tolerancing.
• Ability to create clear drawings and technical documentation.
• Familiarity with machining, sheet-metal fabrication, 3D printing, and mechanical assembly.
• Ability to use basic measurement and laboratory equipment.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• Willingness to work directly with equipment in an engineering lab and manufacturing environment.
• Ability to communicate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn unfamiliar technologies.

Responsabilidades

• Create and modify mechanical designs for Aerosol Jet printing systems, subsystems, fixtures, and accessories.
• Prepare detailed part drawings, assembly drawings, tolerance specifications, and bills of materials.
• Support the design of precision motion assemblies, print-head mounts, substrate fixtures, enclosures, guarding, and material-delivery components.
• Develop fixtures and tooling for holding, positioning, heating, and processing customer substrates.
• Perform engineering calculations involving tolerances, loads, thermal effects, component sizing, and mechanical interfaces.
• Assist with prototype assembly, system integration, troubleshooting, and design verification.
• Plan and conduct mechanical tests; document results and recommend design improvements.
• Work with process engineers to translate printing requirements into mechanical and system requirements.
• Support machine alignment, calibration, nozzle positioning, stand-off control, and motion-system verification.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation, including specs, test procedures, and service docs.
• Update drawings and bills of materials through the engineering-change process.
• Support manufacturing by resolving drawing, assembly, tolerance, and component issues.
• Help improve designs for manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, cost, and second-source availability.
• Participate in design reviews, failure investigations, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Assist with customer demonstrations, system acceptance testing, installation, and technical support when needed.
• Follow machine-safety, laboratory, quality, and documentation procedures.
