Mechanical Design & Digital Twin Engineer

You will turn the physics into physical hardware: design the mechanical system that holds our measurement chain to metrology-grade stability, build the digital twin that matches what is actually built, and manage the external partners who fabricate, assemble and test it

Responsibility :

 Design the mechanical system — sensor head, mounting for two independent measurement modalities, subject-interface fixturing, and the benchtop platform that holds them in a stable common reference frame.

Build and maintain the digital twin of the mechanical design — the virtual model that stays faithful to the as-built hardware. 

Own tolerance and stability budgets: tolerance stack-up, thermal drift, vibration isolation and alignment stability, tied back to the measurement requirement. 

Manage third-party design, fabrication, assembly and test partners — specification, vendor selection, coordination and acceptance. 

Design test fixtures and phantom holders for benchtop validation. 

Required qualifications 

Expert CAD — SolidWorks, Creo, NX, Fusion or equivalent — with real design-for-manufacture judgment.

Precision mechanical design with formal tolerance analysis and GD&T. 

Optomechanical design — kinematic mounts, flexures, alignment, vibration isolation, thermal stability. 

Demonstrated vendor and external-partner management through a full design, build and test cycle. Hands-on prototyping — machining, 3D printing, assembly, and the instinct for what is actually manufacturable.

 7+ years in precision mechanical design
