Support early deployments, installations, and field issue resolution as needed

Contribute to design updates, ECOs, and continuous improvement efforts to enhance reliability, usability, and manufacturability

Assist in development of test methods, fixtures, and validation strategies

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field

~5-8 years of experience in hardware development, system integration, or sustaining engineering

Hands-on experience with electromechanical systems, including build, test, and troubleshooting, with familiarity in precision motion components (e.g., gears, lead screws, bearings, encoders, servo motors)

Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose issues across mechanical and system interfaces

Experience working in cross-functional environments and driving issues to resolution

Ability to implement design updates and ECOs using CAD (SolidWorks preferred)

Nice to Have:

Experience in medical devices or other regulated industries

Familiarity with design controls, verification/validation processes, and quality systems

Experience supporting products through integration, pilot builds, or early production
