Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master's preferred) 12+ years of mechanical engineering experience developing complex hardware products Demonstrated experience leading mechanical design efforts from initial concept, requirements definition, and architecture through production release Strong background in precision mechanical and electromechanical system design Experience creating product requirements, specifications, and design documentation for new product development programs Proven track record bringing commercial hardware products from concept through manufacturing scale-up and production Hands-on experience with prototyping, design verification, system integration, and product development testing Advanced proficiency with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD platforms Experience working within FDA, ISO, or other regulated product development environments Knowledge of manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, and assembly methods Excellent cross-functional collaboration and technical leadership skills Preferred Background Medical device, biotech, diagnostics, laboratory instrumentation, life sciences, or adjacent high-tech product development industries Experience with motion systems, automation, robotics, motors, actuators, or precision positioning mechanisms Experience developing fluid handling, microfluidic, or precision flow control systems Familiarity with thermal management systems and electromechanical integration Experience supporting automated manufacturing or laboratory automation platforms Candidate Profile The ideal candidate has a strong background in original product design and new product development, rather than primarily sustaining engineering, test engineering, reliability testing, or failure analysis. Candidates whose experience is heavily focused on military shock/vibration testing, qualification testing, or troubleshooting existing designs without significant ownership of new product creation may not be the strongest fit for this role.
