Job summary

SirenOpt is seeking a Staff or Senior Mechanical Engineer to help deliver a sensing and software platform for high-volume thin film production lines. You will contribute to mechanical design, prototyping, validation, and cross-functional collaboration to accelerate integration of new concepts.

The role emphasizes fast iteration, client interaction, and documentation, enabling the company to advance its manufacturing intelligence platform and scale with growth in the green energy transition.

Qualifications

• B.S./M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with minimum of 4 years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience autonomously leading independent mechanical design projects, in particular those that involve designing a product that can be integrated into a larger system.
• Experience with design of motion control mechanisms. Ability to properly constrain parts, define datums run through tolerance analysis. Use of GD&T to control those tolerances in drawings. Setting requirements and selection of motors, couplers, stages, gearboxes.
• Programming of motion controllers is a plus.
• Static and dynamic stress and strain analysis including vibration testing and analysis.
• Some familiarity with part quality and measurement setup for CMM or OMM inspection.
• Experience with hands-on development of prototypes.
• Experience with initiating and maintaining supplier support.
• Experience with maintaining awareness of customer needs and iterating on designs accordingly.
• Experience with mechanical design for manufacturing lines.

Responsibilities

• Lead the mechanical design and validation of a low-temperature plasma-based metrology sensor platform.
• Interface with a small, cross-functional project team to research, develop, and validate new concepts for low-temperature plasma-based metrology.
• Perform fundamental studies to characterize and understand the sensitivity of the sensor and platform performance.
• Closely interact with clients to iterate on the design based on their feedback, paying close attention to integration speed.
• Create and maintain technical design documentation (e.g. requirements, 3D and 2D data, assembly documentation, test processes and test reports).
