Mechanical Engineer, Freeform

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and 2 years of hands-on professional experience; or a Master's degree in one of these disciplines and at least one hands-on mechanical internship
• Hands-on experience with complex precision mechanical systems (build, assembly, alignment, etc.)
• CAD experience, including GD&T and detailed drawing documentation as it relates to mechanical systems development
• Strong mechanical engineering and physics fundamentals

Desirable

• In this role, you will be responsible for leading the development and deployment of custom precision mechanical systems for the world’s most advanced metal 3D printing systems
• You will establish and scale processes for how we build, assemble, align, and integrate these systems
• You will work with high-power lasers, high-speed cameras, and other proprietary hardware and software to integrate novel capabilities
• This is a hands-on role in which you will be expected to own hardware development, testing, and implementation yourself
• Precision mechanical systems lie at the heart of our technology, making this is a high-impact opportunity at a rapidly growing deep-tech company
• 3D printing experience is not required to be successful here - rather we look for smart, motivated, collaborative engineers who love solving hard problems and creating amazing technology!
• Build, assemble, align, and deploy complex mechanical systems
• Develop procedures for scaling in-house mechanical build processes from prototype to volume production
• Integrate precision components, such as high power lasers, motion control, and high-speed camera solutions
• Design mechanical solutions to integrate seamlessly with precision and repeatability
• Create drawings specifically to mechanical GD&T standards
• Establish and own the precision alignment process including method, procedure, and software used
• Perform test and characterization of optical performance including process, equipment selection, and passing criteria
• Work closely with process engineering team to solve physics-based interdependencies
• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to develop a robust and scalable system architecture
