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 for release 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 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.
To be successful, you will need:
- PhD or a Master's degree inMechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or other relevant field, with 8+ years of experience in life science instrumentation, semiconductor equipment, and/or automation/robotics.
- Proven track record of taking new products from concept through design and into manufacturing.
- Experience programming and performance tuning of motion controllers for single- and multi-axis synchronous motion trajectories.
- Capability to do frequency response analysis of control systems and vibration measurements
- Proficient in structural, thermal, and vibration/modal FEA and Statistical Analysis
- Knowledge of analysis tools such as Python or Matlab
- Proficient in SolidWorks.
Nice to have:
- Design experience of X,Y sub-micron positioning stages
- Design experience of Z-stage for optical focus running
- Experience in vibration optimization and design for high stiffness to weight ratio
- Experience in structural dynamics test & characterization methods including vibration and modal testing using accelerometers, impact hammer, etc.
- 3+ years of programming in Java, C++, Python or related language experience
- Experience with signal processing, conditioning, filtering.
