Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to contribute to a variety of machine design and product development initiatives for our next generation System Level Test platforms and enabling technologies. The ideal candidate will create innovative, but also sound technical solutions to medium complexity engineering problems. The ideal candidate will also work across functional boundaries to identify essential requirements, tradeoffs, and key technical risks. This person will work closely with external facing teams such as Product Marketing and Applications to understand customer needs. In parallel, the ideal candidate will work with internal cross-functional product development teams to implement design solutions for risk mitigation, concept selection and high-volume manufacturing.

Works with minimal guidance and supervision towards predetermined mid and long-term goals

Synthesizes requirements from multiple stakeholders into discrete engineering and design tradeoffs

Effectively interacts with other technical and non-technical disciplines to solve problems and build collaborative relationships

Experience in conceptualizing and communicating system architecture for complex machine designs

Consistently collaborates with development teams in key areas through efficient communication, technical guidance, tradeoffs, project scheduling, and change management

Effectively participates with global supply base to arrive at economically viable solutions

Work cross-functionally to development of electro-mechanical assemblies including cables, PCBAs and mechanical components.

Develops industrial, automated equipment products based on sound engineering principles that:

• Provide universal, dedicated, and multi-function robots for test head manipulation
• Provide docking systems for precision electro-mechanical test head alignment and clamping
• Create interface standards for production testing with adjacent material handling systems
• Include measures for failsafe operation
• Deliver solutions for the latest generation of advanced System Level testing

Long-term expectations for this position include:

• Participates and influences the development of long-term technical capability roadmaps to support market changes over time
• Contributes to initiatives throughout the company as a subject matter expert for machine design and customer considerations, challenges, and solutions
• Routinely creates innovative ideas, IP, technical publications, or presentations
