TL;DR · Mechanical Engineer, Manufacturing Test

As a Mechanical Engineer III in the Manufacturing organization, you will design complex mechanical assemblies for PCBA and product level test systems, working with tight tolerances and pneumatic/manual actuation. You’ll collaborate with rapid fabrication teams or third-party suppliers to source equipment and integrate DFM/DFT requirements into products. Your role involves developing electromechanical systems within a multidisciplinary team, including software and electrical engineers, to solve manufacturing and testing challenges for air, land, and sea applications. Essential skills include expertise in CAD design tools like NX and SolidWorks, experience with contract manufacturers, familiarity with electronics test equipment, and knowledge of PLM systems. Additionally, you must be able to obtain US DoD clearance and have a background in PCBA test fixturing design and working alongside industrial/product design teams.

What you'll do

  • Design complex mechanical assemblies for PCBA and product level test systems.
  • Develop fixtures with tight tolerances and pneumatic/manual actuated assemblies.
  • Integrate DFM/DFT requirements into product designs to guide design teams.
  • Build large electromechanical fixtures for manufacturing test systems using CAD.
  • Conduct complex analysis using FEA tools for mechanical system optimization.

What we're looking for

  • Expert capability with professional CAD design tools for mechanical assemblies.
  • Experience in working with contract manufacturers and in-house fabrication processes.
  • Familiarity with electronics test equipment such as load cells, strain gauges, and multimeters.
  • Knowledge of Product Life Cycle (PLM) systems and DFM/DFT requirements.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain US DoD clearance.
