Mechanical Engineer

Position Summary: Drive the evolution of rotating technology. We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to spearhead the development of high-performance slip rings for mission-critical applications. In this role, you will lead projects through every phase: from initial CAD design and prototype testing to production-scale manufacturing. You’ll work at the heart of a collaborative engineering team, solving complex problems and refining processes to ensure our technology remains the industry gold standard.

Duties

• Ground-up development of high performance slip rings and advanced rotating devices for mission-critical applications.
• Create the next generation of slip ring technology by developing prototypes, test criteria, and bringing manufacturing to production volumes.
• Work with internal machine shop and other vendors in order to optimize design manufacturability.
• Be deeply involved with all aspects of design, manufacturing, assembly, first-article qualification, production, and functionality.
• Develop work instructions and other supporting documentation for manufacturing and production teams.
• Using Solidworks - Create drawings and supporting information for the purpose of conveying the design intent and functionality.
• Maintain the schedules and forward momentum of short and long-term projects.
• Collaborate with a tight-knit engineering team to develop new products, troubleshoot issues, and improve performance, manufacturability, or reduce cost.

Education:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, or closely-related field

Pay:

• Experience driven and competitive

Core Requirements:

• 3+ Years of experience as a mechanical engineer, professional or graduate academia or related position
• Experience with complex multi-part assemblies and tight-tolerance parts
