About the role

Mechanical Engineer is responsible for planning and executing mechanical engineering tasks for the product development of advanced instruments.
While this is intended to be an accurate reflection of the current job, management reserves the right to revise the job or to require that other or different tasks be performed as assigned.
Evaluate performance at the component and system levels via both SOLIDWORKS modeling and hands-on experimental methods.

This position will require you to translate ideas into high-level design concepts and working prototypes.
Design all advanced instrument parts and assemblies using SOLIDWORKS to meet specifications and for Design for Manufacturability (DFM) on integrated microfluidics, pneumatic, and liquid handling systems.
Create test fixtures for Design of Experiments (DOE) as well as Verification, and Validation processes.
Prepare for, and participate in, comprehensive design reviews.
Develop quality procedures to support the manufacturing team in pilot builds and troubleshooting during production.
Meet deadlines, sustain superior personal task management, and deliver consistent high performance.
Who You Are You are an experienced mechanical engineer with recent, demonstrated success designing and developing complex products, systems, or advanced instrumentation in a fast-paced environment.
You combine strong technical expertise with creative problem-solving and require minimal ramp-up time, allowing you to quickly contribute and deliver results.
You communicate effectively, collaborate seamlessly with cross-functional teams, and take ownership from concept through prototype and product development.
This individual will be working closely with other members of our interdisciplinary team developing innovative advanced related products and technologies.

Recent, hands-on experience using SolidWorks is required, with a proven ability to create detailed designs, assemblies, drawings, and prototypes.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
Minimum of 5 years of professional mechanical engineering experience.
Ability to read, analyze, and interpret technical drawings, specifications, and engineering documentation.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
The candidate must be a fast learner, strong problem solver, and exceptional communicator.
The candidate must have a proven ability to understand complex problems and requirements as described by customers, product liaisons, scientific and engineering team members.
Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.

GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing) experience.
Experience with micro injection molding processes and design.
Experience designing electrical connectors, motion control systems, chassis, and valve-based systems.
Experience with laboratory automation systems.
Working knowledge of microfluidics and MEMS manufacturing processes.
Demonstrated technical leadership and project ownership from concept through prototype and production.
Experience supporting manufacturing, testing, and product commercialization activities.

$120,000-$150,000 annually.
The starting salary for the selected candidate will be determined based on job-related, non-discriminatory factors, including skills, experience, qualifications, and geographic location.
Starting salaries are typically positioned within the range and are not commonly offered at or near the maximum of the salary band.
