What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Engineer position at Staff Source?
The Role
Seeking a senior mechanical engineer to lead the design, validation, and test of electromechanical devices that power our field-deployed machine learning systems, cameras, IoT sensors, and access control systems.
In this role, you will be responsible for the mechanical design, verification, test and deployment of new hardware platforms. This work includes fabrication of prototypes using additive and subtractive methods, creation of mechanical design drawing packages, management of BOMs, designing and executing mechanical test procedures, and performing general design verification activities. You will work closely with electrical, manufacturing, mechanical, operations, and software design engineers daily to ensure that our current and future products meet and exceed industrial best-practices.
The ideal candidate has experience designing and analyzing mechanical and mechatronic systems, excels at analytical problem solving, is an expert using mechanical parametric design tools, and has first-hand experience supporting closely coupled electromechanical systems throughout all lifecycle phases. The candidate will contribute to the development of products from a human factors perspective including physical form and user interface design. You will have demonstrated experience working on closely coupled mechanical / electronic systems, especially those that incorporate substantial thermal and weatherproofing needs. The candidate should be familiar with mechanical drafting best-practices including GD&T. Candidates with experience designing optical systems such as cameras, displays, virtual reality headsets, etc. are encouraged to apply.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical design and test activities for all current and future hardware platforms.
- Conceptualize, prototype, and implement mechanical design solutions for new product design, product improvement, and product changes.
- Coordinate with manufacturing and deployment teams to ensure smooth transition as product designs are updated
- Produce / check design layouts, detail drawings, assembly drawings, bills-of-material, tolerance studies (GDT) and parts lists
- Create engineering reports documenting design efforts, verification plans, and test results
- Manage relationships with external (contract) engineering teams
