About the role
- This role is accountable for both technical execution and team development.
- If this role is based in the United States, it requires access to export-controlled information or items that require "U.S. Person" status.
Responsibilities
- Manage engineers responsible for camera optomechanical systems and perception hardware integration.
- Own execution across perception hardware design, sensor packaging, mounting, alignment, environmental protection, and validation.
- Drive technical decisions related to cameras, radar, LiDAR, GPS, optical systems, calibration fixtures, and related mechanical/electrical interfaces.
- Ensure designs meet requirements for performance, manufacturability, serviceability, reliability, shock, vibration, sealing, and thermal management.
- Partner with software, autonomy, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and program teams to deliver integrated hardware on schedule.
- Lead design reviews, test planning, build support, root-cause investigations, vendor engagement, and production readiness activities.
- Hire, mentor, and develop engineers while raising the standard for technical rigor, documentation, and execution quality.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or greater in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Optical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in mechanical, optomechanical, robotics, perception hardware, or complex hardware development.
- 2+ years of experience leading engineers, projects, or technical teams.
- Proficiency with 3D CAD tools such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo, or similar.
- Experience with camera systems, optomechanical assemblies, radar, LiDAR, GPS, or other perception sensors.
- Experience with autonomous systems, maritime systems, robotics, aerospace, defense, or other ruggedized hardware platforms.
- Familiarity with optical alignment, lens selection, field-of-view constraints, environmental sealing, thermal management, and vibration isolation.
- Experience with calibration fixtures, sensor mounting, production tooling, and high-rate hardware integration.
- Experience supporting DoD programs, unmanned maritime systems, or regulated hardware development environments.
- Required
- Strong fundamentals in mechanical design, sensor integration, tolerance analysis, hardware packaging, and design for harsh environments.
- Experience taking hardware from concept through design, analysis, prototype build, validation, and production support.
- Ability to communicate clearly, make sound technical decisions, and drive execution across multiple engineering disciplines.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
- Preferred
Visa & Work Authorization
