Sr Opto-mechanical Design Engineer
$117,800–$200,300 year
On-siteMilpitas, California, United States
Job Summary
Drive the complete opto-mechanical design process from requirements specification through detailed design and release to manufacturing. Develop and track cost and schedule while generating detailed 3D solid modeling (Creo) models and drawings. Conduct fluid, thermal, and vibrational analyses using hand calculations and FEA modeling, applying Geometric Tolerancing and tolerance stack-up analysis. Lead design reviews to obtain peer-oriented assessments, procure and test prototypes, and create assembly and test procedures. Support system integration, testing, and handoff to manufacturing for precision mechanisms operating in ultra-clean environments and vacuum.
