• Lead design reviews, run analysis, and define hardware test plans.

• Build prototypes, analyze failures, and transition successful projects into production.

• Breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree plus twelve or more years of relevant work experience.

• Additional experience and technical training may substitute for degree requirement.

• Demonstrated ability to creatively integrate and deliver hardware in a resource-constrained environment.

• Demonstrated in-kind or direct team leadership skills, with backing examples.

• Must have strong communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplined team; able to perform complex tasks applying engineering first principles.

• Experience and high proficiency with GD&T and performing tolerance stack up analysis.

• Demonstrated proficiency with CAD based software such as SolidWorks.

• Experience with optical-mechanical systems.

• Experience with designing for manufacturing

• Experience working in a fast paced, dynamic environment on projects that are both R&D and low volume production.

• Experience with developing tests for component level qualification.

• A material science proficiency in selecting material for strength, thermal expansion, and other properties.

• Experience with performing thermal and structural analysis.

• Experience with validating system requirements.

• Personal experience physically manufacturing and assembling hardware.

• Experience working in a clean room environment.
