About the Role
The Mechanical Engineer will support the design, stress analysis, and structural development of high-precision inertial systems. This role focuses on 3D CAD modeling, heat transfer management, and geometric tolerancing to ensure the structural integrity, performance, and reliability of high-precision housings, structural mounts, and mechanical assemblies for next-generation inertial solutions (including IMUs, gyroscopes, accelerometers, and integrated navigation systems).

What You Will Do
- Mechanical Design & Modeling: Assist in 3D CAD modeling and detailed engineering drawing generation using Autodesk Inventor (or equivalent 3D CAD software). Support the design of compact enclosures, internal chassis, and mounting interfaces for sensitive inertial sensors.
- Stress & Thermal Analysis: Perform basic stress analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate structural integrity, material deformation, load paths, and safety factors under dynamic and static loads. Apply principles of engineering dynamics to assess structural performance and mechanical response. Apply heat transfer principles and thermal management techniques (conductive cooling, heat sinks, and thermal interface materials) to maintain sensor stability across operating temperature ranges.
- Manufacturing & GD&T: Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure precise alignment and repeatable assembly on technical drawings. Perform basic tolerance stack-up analyses to evaluate critical fits and sensor alignment tolerances. Incorporate Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) considerations for common production methods (such as CNC machining).
- Prototyping, Validation & Testing: Support building, evaluating, and iterating physical prototypes. Assist in validating structural stress models and thermal performance during lab testing and hardware evaluation.
