About the role
About the Role
Join an equipment engineering team designing and deploying custom manufacturing systems for advanced optical components. This hands-on role combines precision mechanical engineering, automation, and production process development.
What You'll Do
Design and build custom production equipment, automation systems, fixtures, and electromechanical assemblies from concept through deployment.
Upgrade and automate metrology equipment and precision process tools, including dispensing, curing, and measurement systems.
Work with precision stages, actuators, bearings, control electronics, and multi-axis motion systems.
Partner with software engineers, machinists, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to design, build, integrate, and troubleshoot equipment.
Split time between mechanical design and hands-on lab integration, testing, and troubleshooting.
What We're Looking For
Typically 5 or more years of mechanical engineering experience with a bachelor's degree, or fewer years with a master's degree.
Demonstrated ownership of custom machinery or production equipment from concept through fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing.
Strong 3D CAD skills, preferably Creo; SolidWorks or NX experience is also relevant.
Full-system mechanical engineering experience, including automation, precision mechanisms, and equipment integration.
Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and design for manufacturing and assembly for machined and fabricated parts.
Production equipment experience; backgrounds in semiconductor equipment, wafer processing, factory automation, or metrology are relevant.
Experience with precision motion, optics, robotics, or micron- and nanometer-scale measurement systems is beneficial.
