Job Description
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.
