Job Description
The Rapid Prototyping Group seeks an experienced Senior optical/Mechanical Designer in the design, fabrication, integration and test of advanced sensor systems. The expert Designer will work in small teams on a variety of short duration (6-18 month) projects, interfacing with other subject matter experts across the Laboratory and provide complex and innovative solutions for rapid prototypes. This position must be able to create, design, oversee and coordinate the development of sensor/system components including electronics, thermal, mechanical, and optical systems.
Responsibilities:
-Develop complex designs for the optimum performance and ease of fabrication, assembly and testing of complex imaging systems, thermal systems packaging solutions, novel materials and innovative mechanisms
-Experience with a wide range of platforms (i.e. manned/unmanned vehicles, aircrafts, ships, spacecrafts)
- Experience with the design and modeling of mechanical enclosures, optical assemblies with an understanding of requirements needed for Mounting/adjustment/actuation, alignment & measurement techniques, precision bearing, gearing & drive systems, structural/thermal analysis and environmental testing.
- Must be able to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team environment
-Should demonstrate good written and oral communications skills.
Required Skills:
-10+ years experience in Mechanical Design Mechanical CAD experience (Solid Works or other CAD software) Vast experience with mechanisms and complex mechanical assemblies.
