About the role

The Principal Mechanical Engineer will work directly as a member of a new product development team, applying their mechanical expertise to deliver a novel, integrated system to solve immediate customer challenges. They will at times work independently on pieces of systems, with a team of other mechanical engineers, or with other engineering disciplines to ensure a cohesive system design.

What they're looking for

  • Internalize the notion of ownership, display the qualities of a self-starter and proactive problem solver on a cross-disciplinary product team to advance designs from conceptualization to customer acceptance
  • Deeply understand existing customer operational needs and constraints to define system-level requirements including decomposition into appropriate sub-systems
  • Design practical solutions both quickly and carefully, independently preempting issues of manufacturability and future maintenance
  • Design and execute tests to disambiguate between candidate solutions, find the best approach, and convince the team of your conclusion
  • Transform tested conceptual solutions into robust product designs in coordination with engineering operations, the customer and contract manufacturers
  • Design and release components and systems using SolidWorks and PLM systems

The Principal Mechanical Engineer will work directly as a member of a new product development team, applying their mechanical expertise to deliver a novel, integrated system to solve immediate customer challenges. They will at times work independently on pieces of systems, with a team of other mechanical engineers, or with other engineering disciplines to ensure a cohesive system design. The candidate must be highly experienced and autonomous with respect to designing, fabricating, and testing new designs, as well as launching new products into production and supporting systems fielded at customer sites. We expect our team members to take poorly or partially understood problems and develop high-quality pragmatic solutions quickly and independently.
