This role offers excellent opportunities for professional growth while contributing to meaningful technological advances in fields like healthcare, environmental protection, and scientific research.
Key Responsibilities
- Design precision mechanical components, fixtures, and motion systems for TEM/SEM lamella handling and microscopy platforms.
- Develop GD&T schemes and tolerance stack-up analyses for micron- and sub-micron-level assemblies.
- Perform tolerance analysis, stack-up analysis, and GD&T to ensure assembly accuracy and product performance.
- Perform structural, thermal, vibration, and deformation analyses using FEA to predict dimensional changes under operating conditions.
- Apply tolerance compensation methods, datum strategies, and precision alignment techniques to achieve repeatable assembly accuracy.
- System/mechanical error budgeting, requirements flow-down, sensitivity analysis, and verification.
- Lead Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VAVE) initiatives to reduce product cost while maintaining or improving performance and quality.
- Design for manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), and metrology, considering machining, grinding, EDM, precision molding, and additive manufacturing processes.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, metrology, optics, vacuum, and systems engineering teams to validate designs.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical capability development.
- Support design reviews, risk assessments, DFMEA, and engineering change activities.
- Collaborate effectively with global engineering teams and external suppliers
