Reporting to the Manager, Hardware Engineering – Core Systems, the Mechanical Engineer III will bring bold mechanical ideas to life in complex instruments that help protect the world’s water. You will own mechanical design from early concept through production release, create inventive solutions that balance customer needs, performance, compliance, cost, and manufacturability, and partner across electrical, firmware, software, systems, and project teams to deliver seamlessly integrated products.
This position is part of the Hard Engineering, Core Systems team located in Loveland, Colorado, and will be on-site four days per week.
HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT
Create and maintain robust 3D models, assemblies, drawings, and product documentation using SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PDM
Drive engineering changes through PDM and PLM workflows with accuracy and disciplined configuration control
Apply GD&T, tolerance analysis, and stack-up calculations to deliver dependable performance at both component and system levels
Select materials, finishes, manufacturing processes, and components that optimize performance, quality, manufacturability, and cost
Turn ideas into learning through hands-on prototypes, builds, testing, and rapid design iteration
Plan, execute, and interpret verification and validation testing to prove designs meet product requirements
Integrate mechanical designs with electronics, firmware, software, and—where applicable—optics, resolving complex cross-disciplinary issues along the way
