As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, New Product Introduction, you will work on engineering efforts to bring products from the lab into mass production. Your primary objective will be commissioning, and improving the next generation of machines used in the Stack Forging process.
Who You Are
You're a skilled Mechanical Engineer with expertise in machine design and a deep understanding of reliability and safety. You have experience developing complex machines from concept to execution, solving tough engineering challenges along the way. You take full ownership of your projects, driving them forward independently while maintaining a strong sense of urgency. You know when to pivot, prioritize, and adapt to shifting demands to keep progress on track.
This role requires a high degree of technical ownership, cross-functional collaboration, critical thinking for root cause analysis, and an ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. This position generally requires a commitment of 4 days onsite per week. This position is located in Burlington, MA. Candidates must be commuting distance to the office, or able to relocate. Various relocation packages are available. Only US Citizens and/or Permanent Residents of the United States will be considered, since sponsorship is not available for this position.
How you will do it
Component design within the machines in Stack Forging manufacturing system, including automated equipment for material preparation, cutting, inspection, bonding, and assembly
Run design processes with requirements, specifications, concept generation, concept down-selection, and design reviews
Document and communicate design process and decisions
Drive improvement of overall equipment efficiency, manufacturing tolerance, process stability, process monitoring, machine reliability, and automation
Refine and revisit machine requirements with cross-functional teams from product, process, applications, and operations.
Proof-of-concept calculations and benchtop testing to inform design decisions
System and sub-system level design and analysis; utilizing parametric modeling to evaluate trade-offs
Own & update subsystem designs, BOM, specifications, CAD models, and drawings
Select and manage external vendors for components and subsystems
Statistical analysis for assembly tolerance stack up and perform root-cause analyses
What you will need
Required
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and 5+ years industry experience
Sound fundamentals and industrial best practices for robust equipment design for production of serially manufactured machinery
Exposure to a variety of automation systems, control cabinets, industrial sensors, PLCs, data acquisition and I/O devices.
Proficiency in thermal analysis of vacuum systems, including radiative heat transfer, thermal gradients, and bakeout planning
Ability to perform conductance calculations and pump down modeling to optimize system performance
Readiness and enthusiasm to work in a dynamic environment that features: rapidly changing requirements, quick iteration with novel hardware, heavy communication demands, and process development that involves critical, high-risk trade-offs.
Preferred
Background in electro-mechanical systems and/or precision machine design
Dynamic and flexible mindset, easily balancing the immediate needs of the day-to-day with long-term strategic thinking and planning.
Experience with GD&T, SolidWorks (with PDM), and FMEA
Experience with any of the following sub-disciplines: fluid and gas handling, motion planning and control, hydraulics, laser cutting, and vacuum systems
Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment with a bias towards action
Familiarity with design for manufacturing, including sheet metal, machined and welded parts.
