Description
We are in need of bringing on a Lead Mechanical Engineer who will be responsible for owning mechanical design and delivery for rugged, outdoor imaging platforms (e.g., large-format motion systems and field-deployable camera units). Moving designs from concept ? prototype ? supplier handoff ? on-site assembly/validation.
Architect and model mechanical subsystems and weatherable enclosures; produce build-ready drawings and BOMs.
Choose components, source/new suppliers, drive DFM and design-for-serviceability.
Build or direct rapid prototypes; perform quick "sanity-check" analyses (heavy FEA not required).
Coordinate cross-discipline integration (mounting, harness paths, thermal & access).
Keep interns and day-to-day tasks moving when the manager is out; communicate status clearly.
Limited field/onsite validation (mostly local; occasional short travel).
