Mechanical Technical Lead

We are expanding our engineering team and are looking for a Mechanical Architect / Technical Lead to drive the design and delivery of high-reliability precision enclosures and integrated mechanical systems—from concept to prototype qualification and low-rate production.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex engineering problems involving structures, sealing, environmental control interfaces, handling/transport features, and rigorous testing, and can translate requirements into a manufacturable, testable, serviceable product.

Key Responsibilities

• Own mechanical architecture and detailed design of complex enclosure-based systems
• Develop design solutions for structure, access mechanisms, sealing strategy, and serviceability
• Drive integration of auxiliary subsystems (e.g., filtration, thermal management interfaces, instrumentation mounts, safety devices, plumbing/cable routing)
• Lead tolerance strategy and critical interface definition (drawings, GD&T, stack-ups, fit-up plans)
• Create complete engineering deliverables: CAD models, drawings, BOMs, manufacturing plans, assembly SOPs, inspection checkpoints
• Collaborate with manufacturing to develop jigs/fixtures and streamline build cycles
• Support validation and qualification testing: leak/seal tests, load tests, functional tests, environmental checks; define acceptance criteria and report results
• Lead supplier development and technical alignment for fabrication, machining, coatings, seals, windows, fasteners, etc.

Required Qualifications

• 8–15+ years of hands-on mechanical design and product realization experience
• Strong experience in sheet-metal / welded structures (Al/SS), fabrication design, DFM/DFA
• Demonstrated expertise in sealed enclosures: gasket design, latch mechanisms, compression control, IP-style sealing concepts
• Ability to drive projects from ambiguity to execution: requirements → concept → design freeze → build → test → release
• Strong documentation discipline: drawings, revision control, failure/issue tracking, test readiness

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Exposure to regulated or high-reliability environments (industrial, defense, aerospace, cleanroom, medical devices, semiconductors, automotive)
• Experience integrating electromechanical systems and instrumentation into mechanical packages
• Familiarity with basic risk methods (FMEA), verification planning, and FAT/SAT style deliverables

What We Offer

• Opportunity to lead end-to-end engineering projects with real ownership
• High-impact role in a fast-moving manufacturing environment
• Competitive compensation aligned with experience + performance-linked growth
