Senior Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer
Job Overview
We are currently seeking a highly motivated Senior Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical engineering and experience with design and development of opto-mechanical systems.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of emerging technologies, including photonic integrated circuits, advanced optical systems, and embedded software solutions.
The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and developing high-performance opto-mechanical systems, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and deployment.
Responsibilities
1. Become a key member of our senior mechanical engineering team, contributing to the delivery of Mbryonics' aspirations in optical communications terminals and manufacturing processes.
2. Employ a 'test early' approach by prototyping designs in our fully equipped on-site manufacturing workshop.
3. Implement continued development of engineering practices and procedures within a blossoming start-up environment.
4. Apply CAD design, close-form calculations, finite element analysis (FEA), and prototyping skills to realise various types of opto-mechanical systems and ensure optical performance across environments.
5. Develop novel solutions for, and improve on, existing opto-mechanical systems through innovative approaches, creative inputs, and leveraging former engineering background/experiences.
6. Ensure mechanical designs meet space-grade standards (e.g., MIL-STD, ECSS) and produce and maintain GD&T-controlled drawings, procedures, and Bills of Materials under formal configuration control.
7. Utilise a hands-on approach, be proactive, and consistently help progress product development in a multidisciplinary environment.
8. Assist with motivating, mentoring, and enhancing the team's capabilities while thriving on setting and achieving your own mission deadlines.
9. Prototype building, testing, documenting, and developing processes, and producing support documentation.
10. Work with managers and supervisors to implement quality measures and standards, with an ultimate goal of scaling up to high volume manufacturing.
