Lead Machine Engineer - Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing

OPT Industries, Inc.; Medford (MA); In loco; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

OPT Industries, Inc. is seeking a Lead Machine Engineer to own the build, integration, and validation of our next‑generation roll-to-roll manufacturing machines.

You will drive the project from design review through assembly, commissioning, and qualification, defining acceptance criteria and signing off on performance. This hands-on role requires coordinating CAD design, fabrication, and integration of motors, sensors, and control hardware while partnering with electrical and software teams.

Competenze

• 5+ years of mechanical engineering in manufacturing machinery.
• Hands-on experience building, commissioning, and debugging equipment.
• Direct experience with web handling / roll-to-roll systems.
• Experience with fluid handling systems (pumps, tubing, manifolds, filtration, dispensing).
• Proficiency with CAD tools and fabrication drawings (SolidWorks).
• Experience working with outside engineering firms, consultants, or machine builders.
• Comfort defining test plans and measurements to verify machine performance.
• Experience sourcing components and working with vendors on cost, lead time, and manufacturability.

Mansioni

• Act as OPT's technical owner for the new machine: review architectures and detailed designs, define acceptance criteria, and make sign-off decisions.
• Lead machine assembly, integration, and commissioning through a working prototype.
• Operate the machine against process specifications; characterize and verify performance (web tension and tracking, registration, fluid delivery, uptime).
• Diagnose performance gaps and implement small-to-moderate mechanical design changes in-house — CAD, drawings, fabrication, and retrofit.
• Integrate motors, sensors, optical subsystems, and control hardware with electrical and software teams.
• Develop operating procedures and train production staff as the machine moves toward regular operation.
