About the role

We’re looking for a Staff Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the development, integration, and optimization of complex mechanical systems for next-generation additive manufacturing platforms. In this senior individual-contributor role, you’ll partner closely with electrical, software, systems, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust, cost-effective designs from early concept through production release. You’ll bring strong mechanical fundamentals, hands-on prototyping instincts, and the ability to influence technical decisions through clear engineering rigor.

What you’ll do

• Design and release mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD, applying DFM/DFA best practices and product requirements.

• Lead design reviews and engineering decision-making through tolerance analysis, risk assessment, and clear documentation.

• Build, test, and iterate prototypes using modeling, simulation, and hands-on validation to ensure performance and reliability.

• Partner with cross-functional teams (systems, electrical, software, manufacturing, quality, suppliers) to ensure end-to-end product integration.

• Support transition to manufacturing by resolving design-for-quality, cost, and performance issues through root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

• Mentor engineers and elevate team capability by improving design standards, tools, and processes.

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• 8+ years of mechanical design experience in product development and/or equipment design.

• Advanced proficiency with 3D CAD tools (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor) and engineering drawing practices.

• Strong fundamentals in mechanical systems, materials, tolerance stack-ups, and design for manufacturing.

• Hands-on experience with prototyping, test planning, and design validation.

• Working knowledge of GD&T and ASME Y14.5 drafting standards.
