Description

  • Work in cross-functional teams with multiple engineering disciplines (optical, mechanical, electrical, firmware, etc.) to design and build experimental setups and engineering prototypes.
  • Guidance and direction to be provided by hardware engineer(s) and research scientists.


Requirements

  • Strong mechanical design skills for components and assemblies.
  • Assembly and prototyping skills for large lab setups and form factor prototypes.

Attributes:

  • Ability to construct and maintain complex CAD models of optical and mechanical systems.
  • Ability to own the full prototype loop of design, fabricate, build, and test.
  • Self-starter, motivated, chases down details and follows up and follows through.
  • Actively seeks out answers when stuck, doesn’t wait on the team.
  • Able to work with limited inputs and can handle ambiguity, make decisions.
