Job Description:

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer in Test Development Engineering, you will play a critical role in the design, validation, and sustainment of precision assembly, test, and calibration equipment. You will be responsible for designing and maintaining jigs, fixtures, and metrology test systems that ensure product performance, repeatability, and compliance with quality standards. Your work will directly enable calibration traceability, measurement accuracy, and test automation across manufacturing and product validation environments. You will also manage documentation, test protocols, and calibration procedures to ensure long-term reliability and compliance of test and measurement assets.

Job Responsibility:

Conceptualize, design, and document assembly jigs, test fixtures, and precision metrology systems to support both production and validation testing
Develop custom calibration and test instruments, including mechanical, pneumatic, and electro-mechanical assemblies for high-accuracy measurements
Integrate sensors, load cells, displacement transducers, pressure gauges, and other instrumentation into test systems to support product calibration and verification
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Calibration Labs, and Contract Manufacturers) to define test requirements and system capabilities
Utilize CAD software (Creo, SolidWorks) to create detailed 3D models and drawings of mechanical systems, with GD&T applied for precision alignment and repeatability
Generate and maintain Requirement Documents, Calibration Procedures, and Test System Specifications to ensure alignment between product and test design intent
Participate in supplier design reviews and qualification of external test and calibration equipment
Develop and validate test procedures, calibration methods, and verification plans for measurement systems and mechanical fixtures
Ensure measurement system analysis (MSA), gage R&R, and traceability to NIST or equivalent standards in all calibration processes
Conduct statistical evaluations of test data to assess system reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility
Analyze performance results and implement design improvements to maintain precision, accuracy, and robustness under production conditions
Collaborate with electronics and software engineers to define mechanical interfaces for automated test systems and integrate sensors into data acquisition platforms
Diagnose and resolve issues with jigs, fixtures, or test systems, including alignment errors, sensor drift, and calibration failures
Develop preventive maintenance and recalibration schedules for all test and measurement equipment
Support production and test engineering teams by providing quick-turn mechanical solutions to test station downtime or measurement deviations
Create comprehensive documentation for design specifications, calibration procedures, maintenance manuals, and traceability records
Maintain revision-controlled records for test system configurations, calibration certificates, and design changes
Ensure compliance with internal quality management systems and industry standards (ISO 17025, ISO 9001, or equivalent)
Identify opportunities to enhance test accuracy, throughput, and system robustness through mechanical and process improvements
Implement design-for-calibration and design-for-test principles in future product and fixture designs
Stay current with advances in precision mechanics, metrology instrumentation, and automated test system design
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, lean design efforts, and equipment standardization programs

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
10+ years of experience in mechanical design, test and calibration equipment development, or precision metrology systems
Proficiency in CAD software (Creo, SolidWorks) and related engineering analysis tools (FEA, tolerance analysis)
Strong understanding of mechanical systems, pneumatic and electromechanical integration, and manufacturing processes
Deep knowledge of measurement science, tolerance analysis, and statistical methods for calibration and product qualification
Experience in test system design, metrology instrumentation, and mechanical calibration processes
Hands-on experience with mechanical test setups, data acquisition, and troubleshooting of measurement systems
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills
Strong communication skills and ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts

Nice to have:

Experience in consumer electronics, precision mechanisms, or high-volume manufacturing
Familiarity with SPC, capability studies, MSA (Gage R&R), and reliability analysis
Knowledge of PLM systems, and familiarity with ISO 17025 or equivalent calibration lab practices
Certification or training in Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or Metrology

What we offer:

competitive Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
401(k) match
generous PTO
tuition reimbursement
yearly lifestyle stipend
exclusive employee discounts
