Job Details
Our solutions are a key part of most industries - electronics, medical research, renewable energy, food production, infrastructure and many more. Working with us means working with the latest technologies and groundbreaking, sustainable innovations.
Join us on our journey for a better tomorrow.
The Senior Mechanical Engineer IV is a senior technical leader responsible for the architecture, development, and delivery of complex mechanical systems across our product portfolio. This role demands deep expertise in mechanical design, thermal and structural analysis, and system-level integration across disciplines. You'll lead high-impact initiatives, mentor engineers, and will manage a small team.
Essential Duties, Responsibilities, and Expectations
Lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems, assemblies, and components for scientific instrumentation
Own the full lifecycle of mechanical projects-from concept and requirements through design, prototyping, testing, and release
Mentor and manage a small team of mechanical engineers, driving technical excellence and continuous improvement
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Electrical, Software, Manufacturing, and Product Management) to ensure seamless system integration
Conduct detailed thermal, structural, and tolerance analyses to validate designs under real-world operating conditions
Manage vendor relationships and oversee procurement of components, tools, and fixtures for prototyping and production
Develop and implement design standards, documentation practices, and quality control procedures
Evaluate and adopt new materials, manufacturing processes, and technologies to improve performance and scalability
Present technical strategies, project updates, and recommendations to senior leadership
Contribute to strategic planning and roadmap development for future mechanical capabilities
Minimum Qualifications (Experience / Education)
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
10+ years of experience in mechanical design and product development
Proven track record of leading complex mechanical projects from concept to production
Demonstrated ability to mentor and lead technical teams
Competencies // Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA's)
Expertise in precision mechanical design, including CAD modeling, GD&T, and design for manufacturability
Strong analytical skills in thermal, structural, and vibration analysis using simulation tools (e.g., FEA, CFD)
Deep understanding of materials, machining, and fabrication processes
Strategic mindset with ability to align engineering decisions with long-term product and business goals
Proven leadership and mentoring skills, with experience building high-performing teams
System-level thinking and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills
Excellent communication skills, capable of translating complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
Experience managing large-scale engineering projects, including planning, resource allocation, and risk mitigation
Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing scientific instruments or high-precision mechanical systems
Background in physics, materials science, or cryogenics
Familiarity with vacuum systems, thermal management, and vibration isolation
Experience with ERP systems and engineering documentation workflows
Physical Requirements
This position requires the ability to lift and move objects weighing up to 50 pounds as part of the essential job duties. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the role.
Diverse by nature and inclusive by choice
Bright ideas come from all of us. The more unique perspectives we embrace, the more innovative we are. Together we build a culture where difference is valued and we share a deep sense of purpose and belonging.
