About the role

This position offers the chance to innovate at the intersection of precision mechanics and cutting-edge optics, contributing to products that push the boundaries of wearable technology.
If you're passionate about resourceful problem-solving and turning complex challenges into robust solutions, this is an opportunity to grow with a team that's shaping the future of augmented reality.

Design and integrate precision mechanical systems, including robotics, linear motors, encoders, air bearings, and exact constraint mechanisms, to achieve micron-level accuracy in manufacturing equipment.
Lead the mechanical design of dispensing and curing systems, optical positioners, and metrology tools to ensure reliable performance in clean room environments.
Perform design analysis, simulations, and bench-top prototyping to validate equipment functionality under varying priorities and constraints.
Optimize machine frames and precision mechanisms for stability, repeatability, and ease of assembly.
Troubleshoot and iterate on designs based on testing feedback, balancing scrappy resourcefulness with rigorous process adherence.
Work cross-functionally with electrical, software, and manufacturing teams to integrate components into complete systems. Also work with OEM's and contract manufacturers to create multiple instances of your system designs.
Document designs through specifications, drawings, manuals, and testing procedures to support scalable production.
5+ years of professional experience in mechanical design for precision manufacturing equipment or automation systems.
Ability to conduct design analysis, including FEA, tolerance stack-ups, and failure mode assessments.
Experience in prototyping, testing, and iterating on mechanical designs in a resource-constrained environment.

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Proficiency in simulation tools like ANSYS or MATLAB for mechanical optimization.

Hands-on experience with CAD software (CREO for modeling complex assemblies preferred).

Collaborate on the development of machine vision systems integration, pneumatic actuators, valving, system controls and sensor integration and electrical panels for automated process equipment.
Experience with machine vision cameras or optical systems in precision applications.
Background in optics manufacturing, machine vision, robotics, or complex capital equipment.
