Responsibilities

• Develop mechanical concepts for precision analytical instrumentation with majority of focus being on Chromatography systems, including opto-mechanical design, precision motion mechanisms, structures, and thermal management.
• Define mechanical architectures to meet performance requirements for stiffness, thermal stability, vibration control, and serviceability.
• Collaborate with systems, electronics, and firmware engineers to develop and refine designs
• Produce detailed mechanical designs using SolidWorks or equivalent, including 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings.
• Integrate electronics, PCBs, cabling, sensors, and optical components within constrained mechanical envelopes.
• Apply GD&T and tolerance analysis to control critical interfaces and ensure precision and interchangeability.
• Select appropriate materials and finishes to meet structural, thermal, environmental, and manufacturability requirements.
• Apply FMEA and participate in peer design reviews to identify potential failure modes and implement mitigation actions.
• Design for manufacturability, assembly, test, service, and cost in line with right-first-time principles.
• Perform engineering analysis, including hand calculations and FEA (structural, modal, thermal), to validate design performance and reduce risk.
• Support prototype builds and verification testing.
• Support transfer of designs to manufacturing, including BOM creation, drawing release, and change control.
• Define and support assembly processes, tooling, and fixtures in collaboration with manufacturing.
