Overview
A global leader in ultra-precision CNC machine tools is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join their advanced engineering team. This is a high-impact role focused on the design and development of cutting-edge mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic subsystems used in industry-leading precision manufacturing platforms. The ideal candidate will bring strong design leadership, deep technical expertise, and a hands-on approach to solving complex engineering challenges from concept to production.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead mechanical design efforts for ultra-precision CNC machine tools, including specification, modeling, and validation of mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic components.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Electrical, Controls, Service, and Planning) to drive the complete product lifecycle from design through production.
Develop 3D CAD models and detailed drawings using SolidWorks to ensure functional, manufacturable, and cost-effective designs.
Create and maintain system-level design specifications, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and associated documentation.
Manage engineering change orders (ECOs) and contribute to product and design reviews to ensure alignment with quality and performance goals.
Perform hands-on hardware verification testing using advanced metrology tools (e.g., laser interferometers, autocollimators, accelerometers) and participate in CNC programming, tuning PID controllers, and system troubleshooting.
Interface directly with customers to support installations, field service efforts, and participate in technical discussions and trade shows.
Support sourcing activities and monitor vendor compliance with mechanical specifications and quality requirements.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) required; Master's or PhD strongly preferred. 7+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably within high-precision equipment or capital machinery industries. Deep understanding of mechanical design principles, materials science, and manufacturing methods for high-accuracy systems. Proficient in SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software; experience with PDM systems a plus. Strong analytical skills, including applied knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and statistics. Experience in electro-mechanical systems and the integration of fluid power systems (air and hydraulic). Preferred Experience:
Expertise in the design and modeling of air-bearing and hydrostatic spindles and slides. Familiarity with advanced metrology and diagnostic tools such as Zygo ZeGage, Talysurf, Talyrond, Luphoscan, ME Scope, and Lion Precision systems. Demonstrated ability to lead cross-disciplinary engineering projects from design through production release. Hands-on experience working with CNC machines and motion control systems in a development or support capacity. The Offer: Competitive compensation package, including: Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance Paid Time Off (PTO) 401(k) with employer match Opportunities for technical leadership in a collaborative, engineering-first environment
