Qualifications

• 2+ years of mechanical design experience in a product development or manufacturing environment.
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modeling, assemblies, detailed drawings, and design iteration throughout the product development cycle.
• Experience developing mechanical assemblies and translating concepts into manufacturable designs.
• Hands-on experience building, assembling, troubleshooting, and testing mechanical or electromechanical hardware.
• Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies, products, and engineering domains quickly and apply that knowledge to practical design challenges.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of adapting designs based on testing, manufacturing feedback, and real-world constraints.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively across multiple engineering disciplines while independently driving tasks to completion.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical modules and assemblies for electromechanical, optoelectronic, and photonics packaging, balancing structural, thermal, and manufacturing constraints.
• Develop 3D models, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings in SolidWorks.
• Evaluate mechanical design trade-offs in the context of adjacent subsystems — including heat dissipation paths, electrical interconnect routing, and optical alignment sensitivity.
• Rapidly learn and apply new materials, processes, and design standards as product requirements evolve.
• Support DFM/DFA reviews and collaborate with vendors and contract manufacturers on custom machined, stamped, and formed components.
• Adapt designs in response to test data, failure analysis findings, and changing customer requirements.
• Contribute to qualification and verification activities including environmental, mechanical, and functional testing.
• Document designs clearly through engineering drawings, specifications, and change orders
