Lead Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end mechanical design of complex systems and modules such as enclosures, pumps, valves, flow paths, column ovens, and detector housings.
• Translate system-level and chemistry requirements into robust mechanical concepts, 3D models, and detailed engineering drawings.
• Perform engineering calculations for fluid flow, thermal management, sealing, and mechanical stress to ensure design robustness and reliability.
• Lead prototype builds, integration testing, and design validation in collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams (electrical, firmware, chemistry).
• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles; coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing partners for tooling and part readiness.
• Own component and subsystem qualification, including environmental, vibration, and lifetime testing.
• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical and system-level issu...
