Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Minimum 5 years work experience in 3D solid modeling
Minimum 3 years work experience in FEA, GD&T
Ability to act as mechanical lead on design challenges requiring 2-4 mechanical engineers, interfacing with other stakeholder groups.
Strong background in the design of mechanisms.
Basic understanding of optical subsystems.
Familiar with manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding fabrication and castings.
Team player, who takes initiative and demonstrates perseverance and a drive to be better.

Drive design from beginning to end including requirements specification, feasibility studies, conceptual and detailed design, build and release to manufacturing
Develop and track cost and schedule
Generate detailed models and drawings, using 3D solid modeling (ProE/Creo)
Conduct various analysis, such as fluid, thermal, and vibrational, through both hand calcs and FEA modeling
Understand and use Geometric Tolerancing (GD&T)
Perform detailed tolerance stack-up analysis
Participate in and lead design reviews to obtain a peer-oriented design assessment throughout design process
Procure, assemble, and test prototype material
Support system integration and testing
Create assembly and test procedures
Generate documentation and support release and handoff to manufacturing.

Creo (ProEngineer) skill strongly preferred.
