Mechanical Technical Lead

We are expanding our engineering team and are looking for a Mechanical Architect / Technical Lead to drive the design and delivery of high-reliability precision enclosures and integrated mechanical systems—from concept to prototype qualification and low-rate production.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex engineering problems involving structures, sealing, environmental control interfaces, handling/transport features, and rigorous testing, and can translate requirements into a manufacturable, testable, serviceable product.

Key Responsibilities

Own mechanical architecture and detailed design of complex enclosure-based systems Develop design solutions for structure, access mechanisms, sealing strategy, and serviceability Drive integration of auxiliary subsystems (e.g., filtration, thermal management interfaces, instrumentation mounts, safety devices, plumbing/cable routing) Lead tolerance strategy and critical interface definition (drawings, GD&T, stack-ups, fit-up plans) Create complete engineering deliverables: CAD models, drawings, BOMs, manufacturing plans, assembly SOPs, inspection checkpoints Collaborate with manufacturing to develop jigs/fixtures and streamline build cycles Support validation and qualification testing: leak/seal tests, load tests, functional tests, environmental checks; define acceptance criteria and report results Lead supplier development and technical alignment for fabrication, machining, coatings, seals, windows, fasteners, etc.

Required Qualifications

8–15+ years of hands-on mechanical design and product realization experience Strong experience in sheet-metal / welded structures (Al/SS), fabrication design, DFM/DFA Demonstrated expertise in sealed enclosures: gasket design, latch mechanisms, compression control, IP-style sealing concepts Ability to drive projects from ambiguity to execution: requirements → concept → design freeze → build → test → release Strong documentation discipline: drawings, revision control, failure/issue tracking, test readiness

Preferred (Nice to Have)

Exposure to regulated or high-reliability environments (industrial, defense, aerospace, cleanroom, medical devices, semiconductors, automotive) Experience integrating electromechanical systems and instrumentation into mechanical packages Familiarity with basic risk methods (FMEA), verification planning, and FAT/SAT style deliverables

What We Offer

Opportunity to lead end-to-end engineering projects with real ownership High-impact role in a fast-moving manufacturing environment Competitive compensation aligned with experience + performance-linked growth
