In this Mechanical Test System Engineer role, you will:- Lead the design and implementation of mechanical subsystems for custom sensor test stations, including fixtures, motion assemblies, enclosures, and mechanical interfaces- Own the end-to-end mechanical design lifecycle: concept → CAD → DFM → prototype → validation → bring-up- Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to ensure seamless integration across mechanical, electrical, and software components- Write and maintain control and automation software to operate motion systems, collect data, and interface with test instrumentation- Drive on-site fixture debug, bring-up, and validation at global manufacturing facilities- Continuously optimize test systems for reliability, cycle time, precision, and serviceability- Build broad technical expertise and develop toward test architecture leadership, influencing the direction of future test platforms
- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical design for test stations, automation equipment, or robotics in production environments
- Strong proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo), including 3D modeling, GD&T, tolerance stack-up, and mechanical documentation
- Solid understanding of precision mechanical integration, including actuators, motion stages, alignment features, thermal considerations, and ergonomic design
- Experience with DFM/DFX principles and collaboration with vendors to bring designs into high-volume production
- Proven ability to work multi-functionally with electrical, software, and operations teams to deliver integrated test systems
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and adaptability in a fast-paced, hands-on engineering environment
- Experience delivering complete test stations with motion subsystems, environmental control, and safety mechanisms
- Familiarity with sensor testing challenges, including precise mechanical alignment, thermal drift, and signal integrity
- Background in robotics or automation, including integration of pneumatics, actuators, or gantry systems
- Proficient in software engineering, with hands-on experience in C/C++ and Python for hardware control, motion automation, and test instrumentation integration
- Exposure to hardware interface libraries, motion controllers, or data acquisition frameworks
- Passion for growing into a test system architect with comprehensive ownership across mechanical, electrical, and software domains
