Mechanical Design Engineer

Design and detail the machine. Architect multi‑axis gantry systems, structural frames, sheet metal enclosures, and CNC‑machined stages. Select linear guides, ball screws, motors, bearings, and drives to hit accuracy, stiffness, and throughput targets. Design toolhead mounts, board handling, fixturing, and transfer mechanisms.
Integrate across domains. Spec and wire motors, encoders, sensors, drivers, and cabling into mechanical assemblies, working hand‑in‑hand with experienced EEs. Know when to solve a problem with a mechanism and when to reach for a sensor and a cable.
Own the processes. Develop reliable, repeatable processes for pick‑and‑place, laser ablation, conductive inkjet printing, solder paste dispensing, board handling, alignment, and calibration. Characterize process windows and iterate until each station performs to spec.
Build, test, iterate. Assemble prototype gantries and subsystems hands‑on. Debug, align, and test for repeatability. Work with materials scientists to translate ink and paste properties into machine parameters that produce consistent results.
Scale it. Help take production from a handful of hand‑built units to working with contract manufacturers for volume. Design for manufacturability, serviceability, and cost‑reduction.
Document everything. Produce detailed CAD assemblies, drawings, BOMs, tolerance stacks, and interface documentation.
