About The Role
We are seeking an outstanding Staff Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Hardware Engineering group to work on the next-generation of multi-omic spatial imaging instruments. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Mechanical Design and precision motion control, ideally with experience developing life sciences equipment. Previous success in product development in producing designs that include nano-precision motion control, mechatronics and vibration isolation or control is a must.
What You Will Be Doing
The Staff Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for the design, test and qualification of systems containing precision motion stages to ensure they meet performance & reliability requirements. Additionally, they will 1) define the requirements, source, configure, test, and 2) validate the motion solutions for various projects from concept to production in a fast-paced environment. Other responsibilities would entail programming multi-axis motion controllers for optomechanical and robotic operations that are tightly synchronized with the operation of illumination, image acquisition, and fluidics subsystems. They will verify the mechanical and electrical specifications of various motion stages, motors, and actuators by sourcing or building necessary fixtures and configuring or writing necessary software to acquire data. They will work closely with software engineers and other hardware design engineers in a team environment to ensure successful integration of the solutions they develop. It is expected that they may be asked to work with motion control vendors for custom designed products ensuring optimal solution performance, cost, and development time.
