- Isolate and iterate on component/feature designs with a constant eye toward system integration
- Conduct analyses including mechanical (e.g. stress and tolerance stack-up) and design risks (e.g. failure modes)
- Work with rapid prototyping (3D printing CNC) and manual fabrication to iterate on designs quickly
- Create and maintain engineering drawings and BOM updates
System Integration & Testing
- Support integration of mechanical electrical and firmware subsystems into cohesive products
- Assist in developing and executing verification and validation test plans and procedures
- Collect analyze and document test data against functional and performance specifications
- Identify and troubleshoot mechanical and system-level issues during bring-up and field testing
- Develop and execute verification and validation test plans covering functional environmental and durability requirements
Data Collection
- Design and execute structured data collection protocols in lab and field environments
- Set up and operate data acquisition systems (DAQ oscilloscope serial logging) to capture outputs across test conditions
- Analyze and interpret collected datasets to assess system performance identify anomalies and support design decisions
Documentation & Process
- Maintain complete and current project documentation in accordance with Simbexs Quality Management System
- Prepare engineering analyses and present findings to cross-functional teams
- Lead and support design reviews for production releases
Required Qualifications:
- BS in Mechanical Engineering Systems Engineering or closely related field
