At Element Biosciences, we are passionate about empowering the scientific community with freedom and flexibility to accelerate our collective impact on humanity.
We are committed to scientific integrity, collegiality, honesty, objectivity, and openness.
We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to drive system architecture, module design, simulation, and optimization for complex scientific instruments.
This role requires a technical expert with previous experience collaborating closely with cross-functional teammates from R&D and Operations.
Strong engineering fundamentals in motion systems, thermal, and static analysis, rigorous critical thinking skills, and a methodical product development approach are essential attributes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Negotiating system performance trade-offs across structural, motion, thermal, fluidic, and optical domains
- Conducting modal analyses and interpreting Bode plots to inform control schemes and feedback loops
- Managing internal and external dynamic system development projects
- Developing diagnostic analysis tools and optimization approaches to achieve dynamic system performance targets
- Leading cross-functional root cause analysis involving shock, vibration, noise, thermal gradients, and control loops by applying structured problem-solving methodologies and making data-driven decisions
- Verifying and transferring reliable dynamic system and control solutions from R&D to Operations
Requirements include a minimum BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics and 16 or more years relevant work experience (or equivalent combination of education and industry experience).
Expertise with SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation (or equivalents like Ansys and SIMULIA) is required, and experience with programming in C#, LabView, Python, or .NET is preferred.
We foster an environment where all people are afforded the freedom to pursue their passions without regard to race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, gender (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, veteran status or any other characteristics protected by law.
In addition to base compensation, you will be eligible for stock options, discretionary annual bonus, no cost health insurance plans, 401k with company match, and flexible paid time off.
