Your daily work involves designing mechanical, electrical, optical, and fluidic systems using CAD tools like CoCreate or OneSpace Designer. You will define technical specifications, conduct testing for reliability and safety, and develop assembly methods for internal labs and manufacturing sites. The role requires expertise in electromechanical components, material properties, and manufacturing processes such as injection molding and die casting. You will solve complex engineering challenges within the specialized field of inkjet printing technology to create high-value solutions for the life sciences market.

What you'll do

  • Design mechanical, electrical, optical, and fluidic components and subsystems using CAD tools.
  • Develop technical specifications and manage interfaces between various systems and subsystems.
  • Execute test and validation methods including form/fit/function, reliability, thermal, and safety testing.
  • Manage the full product lifecycle from initial concept and prototyping to production-ready solutions.
  • Develop assembly tools, manufacturing methods, and process flows for internal and outsourced sites.
  • Resolve technical issues and communicate risks or mitigation plans to senior stakeholders.
  • Lead technical work direction by defining metrics, tracking milestones, and managing partner integrations.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field with proven design and analysis capabilities.
  • Typically 4+ years of experience in product development or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in CAD, with high proficiency in CoCreate/OneSpace Designer being a strong plus.
  • Experience designing electromechanical components, electronic enclosures, mechanical assemblies, structural elements, fluid systems, and optical components.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes, joining technologies (injection molding, die casting, sheet metal), and material properties.
  • Ability to perform mechanical and fluid systems analysis including tolerances, stress/strain, and thermal calculations using modeling tools.
  • Experience with Design for Manufacturability (DFM), high-volume manufacturing, and design for reliability.
  • Strong communication skills to convey technical concepts, tradeoffs, and status updates to cross-functional partners and senior stakeholders.
