Senior Mechanical Engineer

Description:

Create new product concepts, working closely with industrial designers, electrical engineers, prototype model makers, technicians, and others.

Lead explorations of new product concepts and manage design tradeoffs, evaluating fabrication feasibility, risk, development time, cost, and product functionality.

Lead detail design of complex electromechanical products, including mechanisms, motion and fluid control systems, and device enclosures.

Rapidly create 3D models in SolidWorks ranging from quick concepts to production-level parts and assemblies using robust modeling practices.

Develop product specifications and requirements to communicate design intent, materials, mitigate hazards, and establish acceptable performance standards.

Comfortably use mechanical engineering fundamentals right sized for the design such as statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer to evaluate concepts and inform and validate design decisions.

Analyze and document key mechanical system characteristics, including tolerance stake-up analyses, thermal performance models, mechanism motion properties, or dynamic fluid pressure/flow.

Construct and test of prototypes using 3D printers, shop tools, and selected suppliers.

Drive discussions with clients to understand the product/project vision and present technical design updates, decisions, and design reviews.

Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends to recommend improvements and innovations in mechanical design processes.

Provide technical mentorship to junior mechanical engineers and commonly operate as the lead mechanical engineer on projects requiring a team.
