As a Mechanical Engineer, you will join a small, close-knit team of mosquito biologists, software engineers, and automation experts working to develop better ways to reduce the impact of mosquito-borne diseases. Responsible for Research and Development across various processes and products, you will be central to the design, development, deployment, and ongoing improvements of Debug technology and products.
You will have a wide breadth of mechanical engineering skills and experience, and will flourish in changing environments while collaborating across teams.
Design and build automated systems with a wide variety of electromechanical components, including servo systems, pneumatics, sensors, drive components, etc.
Oversee the full product lifecycle, from defining requirements and prototype validation to the final launch of production-ready systems.
Act as a primary technical point-of-contact to science, software, and operations teams to resolve foundational engineering issues requiring unique and creative solutions.
Design and iterate collaboratively with real-world users and use cases. Test prototypes and released products to verify compliance to design specifications. Investigate and resolve technical problems involving product performance in production equipment.
Determine and establish product performance through engineering calculations and layouts; use appropriate engineering tools such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Design for Automation (DFA).
