About the position
The job overview for this position is that it is a Mechanical Engineer role at Red 6, specifically within the Hardware Technology team. The engineer will be responsible for setting the architectural direction of the design, performing detailed CAD work, overseeing manufacturing, and assembling units for evaluation. They will need to collaborate with various teams, translate high-level requests into actionable hardware direction, and generate necessary documentation. The engineer will also lead mechanical engineering activities, develop design requirements, and provide system-level design for products in development.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical engineering activities in a cross-functional team environment
- Develop display module mechanical drawings and specifications, review and approve vendor design proposals
- Gather and develop component level design requirements and specifications with stakeholders across all disciplines
- Perform R&D to determine the optimal technology within product cost restraints
- Provide system-level design for products in development and work with leads across disciplines to identify guidelines and requirements for system level component specifications
- Apply engineering and tolerance techniques to high precision design requirements in areas such as Optics, Mechanics, and Motion Control
- Lead and hold engineering design reviews
- Lead and drive design improvements to address reliability/usability issues as reported by customers
- Collaborate cross-functionally with teammates across disciplines to deliver new products
- Take prototypes to increasing levels of fidelity and work with product-focused engineers to translate early prototypes into potential product directions
- Work with the Project Management team to create product schedules and manage the design development accordingly
- Simulation, modeling, design, and test project development
- Troubleshoot board issues and implement tests at the system level
- Provide technical guidance to other team members in issue resolution and product development
- Create development test plans to ensure compliance with applicable industry standards
- Perform system and sub-system design, modeling, and prototyping
- Conduct structural analysis with hand calculation and FEA analysis
- Design for manufacturing and production
- Create production drawings applying and interpreting Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
