Mechanical Engineer (Electromechanical Systems & Inspection Platforms)

Insight Global • Vista, CA • 4h ago

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Engineer to support the design and development of next-generation non-intrusive inspection systems for high-security applications. This role is part of a fast-paced engineering team responding to evolving requirements, with a focus on delivering robust, scalable solutions for both stationary and mobile platforms.

You will play a critical role in taking systems from concept ("pencil sketch") through full production release, working cross-functionally with electrical and systems engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

Design electromechanical systems from concept through production release

Collaborate with systems and science teams to translate requirements into mechanical designs

Own mechanical design of:

Enclosures (NEMA/industrial)

Structural frames and assemblies

Tooling and subsystem packaging

Develop and refine system architectures in coordination with electrical engineering (block diagrams ? mechanical integration)

Create 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, and complete design packages using SolidWorks (Windchill environment)

Perform and/or support:

Thermal analysis

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Structural and environmental validation

Define and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs) and configuration data

Drive design through formal review processes and release to production

Support configuration management activities:

Revision control

Engineering Change Requests (ECR), Orders (ECO), and Notices (ECN)

Ensure compliance with applicable standards (e.g., CE for international deployment)

Partner closely with electrical engineers to integrate wiring, sensors, and system components into cohesive assemblies

Support both new product development and sustaining engineering for deployed systems

System Environment

Large-scale inspection systems (stationary and mobile) used in high-security environments

Equipment includes X-ray systems, sensors, and integrated hardware platforms

Designs must account for:

Outdoor environments

Heavy machinery and hydraulics

Safety-critical operation (potential life/safety implications)

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.

Skills and Requirements

5+ years of mechanical engineering experience (mid-level to senior considered)

Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (experience with Windchill or similar PLM systems preferred)

Demonstrated experience designing complex electromechanical systems

Strong understanding of:

Statics, dynamics, and heat transfer

Materials selection (steel, aluminum, alloys)

Manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, fabrication)

Experience with:

Design documentation (drawings, BOMs, CAD models)

GD&T per ANSI Y14.5

Engineering change processes (ECR/ECO/ECN) - Experience with inspection systems, X-ray equipment, or radiation-related hardware

(e.g., shielding, collimation, compliance considerations)

Familiarity with CE compliance and global product certification

Experience designing for harsh or outdoor environments

Background in vehicle systems, hydraulics, or heavy equipment

Experience with corrosion protection and finishing techniques

Hands-on prototyping or field support experience
