Iris Scientific is a specialty recruitment agency laser focused on sales marketing and applications roles in the North American Scientific Instrumentation Industry. We are working with a world class scientific instrumentation manufacturer to find a Mechanical Engineer for the Research and Development for Advanced Lasers. The position is to be based out of Rochester NY and a relocation package will be provided if needed.
The company is targeting new grads with a Bachelors or Masters in Mechanical Engineering. The successful candidate will also have significant hands on experience with: rapid prototyping techniques use of SolidWorks for creation of models / drawings etc. and experience with optomechanical systems. Outstanding communication skills and a positive team-based attitude are also a must.
Reporting to R&D management the R&D Mechanical Engineerwill be responsible for a wide range of activities related to existing and future product lines developed and manufactured by the US production team. Specifically: developing all aspects of mechanical components and systems for the companys laser optical and photonic products.
This is an exciting and rewarding role for a new engineering grad who thrives in an innovative technology push atmosphere and enjoys working across disciplines to build real-world systems for multiple photonic industries.
If this sounds like you please get in touch.
Key Responsibilities:
- Designing developing prototyping and testing all aspects of mechanical components assemblies and systems for the companys laser optical and photonic products
- Modeling within and maintaining a local repository of SolidWorks files for all components
- Generating mechanical drawings for fabrication by outside suppliers
- Identifying qualifying and maintaining suppliers of critical mechanical components
- Work within R&D and in collaboration with the Manufacturing and Service groups to ensure quality performance manufacturability and serviceability of systems
- Assisting with the transfer of mechanical designs into production
- Collaborating with production team on the development of assembly fixtures and automation to ensure efficient and high-quality manufacturing
- Failure testing and analysis of mechanical components and assemblies
Qualifications (Required):
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline
- Unrestricted right to work in the United States (US Citizen)
- Proficiency in SolidWorks for creation of solid models assemblies renderings and fabrication drawings
- Demonstrated hands-on ability to evaluate mechanical form fit and function of components prototypes and final assemblies
- Experience with rapid prototyping techniques (FDM/SLA/SLS/etc.) for design evaluation
- Hands on experience with lasers and/or optomechanical systems
Qualifications (Preferred):
- Experience with and knowledge of optomechanical systems for laser beam steering and control
- Experience with precision mechanical operations common to lasers and photonics such as single-mode fiber coupling
- Experience with design for and testing shock and vibration insensitivity
- Experience with motion control to include interfacing for precision positioning and automation
- Programming (Python strongly preferred) for interfacing data acquisition and automation
- Use of native SolidWorks or third-party software for finite element analysis of mechanical properties (stress deflection etc.) as well as equilibrium and dynamic thermal systems and heat flow
- Experience with ISO 10110 covering drawings for optical elements and systems
