Job description

Seeking a Mechanical Engineer for a high growth capital equipment development and manufacturing client in the Reading, MA area. The Mechanical Engineer would be responsible for supporting platform product development for next-generation semiconductor test systems. This role focuses on executing high-quality mechanical designs, conducting tradeoff analyses, and driving complex engineering problem-solving.

Full W-2 benefits offered!

Location: North Reading, Massachusetts | Job Type: Contract | Salary: $50 - 68 per hour | Work Hours: 9am to 5pm | Education: Bachelors

Responsibilities

• Design & Development: Develop, model, and refine moderate-to-high complexity mechanical designs, translating system-level specifications into actionable electromechanical architectures.
• Platform Integration: Design precision docking systems, signal delivery interfaces, and structural hardware capable of maintaining reliability across varied thermal environments.
• Tradeoff Analysis: Evaluate engineering tradeoffs to balance electrical performance, structural integrity, thermal behavior, manufacturability, reliability, and target unit costs.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with systems, electrical, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to establish constraints, coordinate project schedules, and manage design changes.
• Design Verification & Reviews: Prepare comprehensive documentation, lead and contribute to technical design reviews, and provide clear data-driven feedback.
• Problem Solving: Independently identify root causes of technical issues, implement robust corrective actions, and elevate project risks proactively.

Qualifications
