SupportFinity™; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Optopax is seeking a hands-on Mechanical / Electro-Mechanical Engineer to turn loose requirements into robust, manufacturable systems. You will design fixtures and subsystems, build and test prototypes, and collaborate across optics, firmware, electronics, and manufacturing teams.

You will work on camera modules, optical test fixtures, and motion systems, ensuring cost, yield, and reliability goals are met while staying hands-on with CAD, bench work, and shop-floor activities.

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related field.
• 1–2+ years of professional experience in mechanical/electro-mechanical design.

Responsibilities

• Design integrated electro-mechanical and opto-mechanical systems for camera modules.
• Translate specifications from optics, test, and embedded teams into manufacturable hardware designs.
• Create detailed 3D CAD models and production drawings (Fusion 360 preferred).
• Apply DFM/DFA, GD&T, and tolerance stack-ups to ensure repeatable builds.
• Design and integrate multi-axis motion systems (linear stages, actuators, motors, encoders).
• Build and evaluate prototypes using 3D printing, CNC machining, and sheet-metal fabrication.
• Assemble and test precision mechanical and optical assemblies; develop and run test setups.
