Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are looking for a talented Mechanical Engineer with a passion for Mechanisms and Motion Control. You will lead the design of high-precision moving parts, drive trains, and complex mechanical linkages. Your work will ensure the reliability and accuracy of advanced systems that demand “Small and Smart” mechanical solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Mechanism Design: Design and develop complex moving assemblies, including gear trains, linkages, shutters, and gimbal systems.
• Drive Systems: Integrate motors (Stepper, DC, Piezo), lead screws, bearings, and encoders into high-precision motion platforms.
• Structural & Dynamic Analysis: Perform kinematic and dynamic simulations, as well as FEA (structural/vibration), to ensure stability and minimize jitter.
• Control Collaboration: Work closely with control and electronics engineers to optimize system response, settling time, and positioning accuracy.
• Prototyping & Testing: Hands-on assembly of complex mechanisms, conducting life-cycle tests and performance validation under various environmental conditions.

Qualifications

• Education: B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from a leading institution.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in designing mechanisms and high-precision motion systems.
• CAD Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo (including Mechanism/Motion modules).
• Technical Skills: Deep understanding of kinematics, friction, lubrication, and precision machine design.
• Analysis: Experience with motion simulation tools and FEA.
• Bonus: Knowledge of MATLAB for kinematic modeling or control system analysis.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our R&D team. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end mechanical design and development of sophisticated optomechanical systems. You will bridge the gap between optical design and physical implementation, ensuring high-precision performance in challenging environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the mechanical design of complex optical assemblies, including lens barrels, mirror mounts, and sensor integrations.
• Perform rigorous Tolerance Analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) (structural and thermal) to ensure optical stability and system integrity.
• Develop high-precision motion stages and positioning mechanisms.
• Oversee the transition from prototype to production, implementing Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and assembly (DFA) principles.
• Collaborate closely with Optical, Electrical,Control and Systems Engineers to define requirements and solve multi-disciplinary challenges.
• Manage technical documentation, including detailed drawings, BOMs, and assembly procedures.

Qualifications

• Education: B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from a recognized institution.
• Experience: A minimum of 5 years of proven experience specifically in optomechanical system development.
• CAD Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent 3D modeling software.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of GD&T, precision machining, and optomechanical mounting techniques.
• Analysis Skills: Strong background in thermal management and structural analysis for optical systems.

Preferred Skills (Advantages)

• Experience in Defense, Aerospace, or Semiconductor industries.
• Familiarity with infrared (IR) materials and environmental sealing (IP67/MIL-STD).
• Experience with active alignment processes and optical calibration tools.
• M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
