Role: Mechanical Design Engineer

We are looking for a passionate and hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer to join our R&D; team. This role offers an chance to work on the development of innovative mechanical systems and precision engineering products, taking designs from initial concepts through prototyping, testing, and refinement.
The ideal candidate enjoys both designing in CAD and working hands-on with physical components. The role involves developing and iterating design concepts, fabricating prototypes using our in-house 3D printing facility or external manufacturing vendors, and performing practical workshop activities such as drilling, rework, fitting, and assembly. We are looking for someone who can translate design ideas into functional prototypes, identify practical engineering challenges, and improve designs through hands-on experimentation.

What you'll do:
• Translate functional requirements into practical, manufacturable mechanical designs.
• Develop and iterate design concepts using CAD tools, incorporating feedback from prototype evaluation and testing.




• Fabricate prototypes using in-house 3D printing facilities and coordinate with external vendors for components requiring other manufacturing processes.
• Perform hands-on prototyping activities, including drilling, tapping, cutting, fitting, rework, and mechanical assembly.
• Troubleshoot mechanical and assembly issues and implement design improvements based on practical observations.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to integrate mechanical components with electrical, optical, and other subsystems.
• Prepare engineering drawings, GD&T;, bills of materials (BOMs), and manufacturing documentation.
• Support prototype testing, design verification, and continuous improvement of mechanical assemblies.

What we are looking for:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field. Recent graduates and early-career engineers are encouraged to apply
