MECHANICAL INTEGRATION & TEST ENGINEERWe are seeking a Mechanical Integration & Test Engineer to own the mechanical integration of machines, tooling, fixtures, and workstations across our production lines and development labs. Integration & Test Engineers at Mesh must have a working knowledge of design, manufacturing, and test operations across their domain. A successful engineer on this team demonstrates strong engineering intuition, critical thinking, and comfort working under ambiguous requirements with minimal oversight.
RESPONSIBILITIES- Own the mechanical integration of production equipment, tooling, fixtures, and workstations into high-volume manufacturing lines
- Lead mechanical bring-up, debug, and ramp of new and modified production cells, resolving integration issues across mechanical, structural, and thermal boundaries
- Define and maintain system-level mechanical interfaces between tools, fixtures, material handling systems, and factory infrastructure
- Design, build, and qualify test fixtures, workholding, and mechanical hardware interfaces used for qualification, validation, and manufacturing
- Evaluate proposed designs for manufacturability and mechanical integration, providing feedback on assembly sequence, access, tolerance stackups, and fixturing requirements
- Develop and refine assembly procedures, integration sequences, and mechanical validation checklists based on build experience and lessons learned
- Enable day-to-day execution of the mechanical integration and test flow on the production floor
- Evaluate nonconformances to determine root cause and drive corrective action and system improvements
- Maintain mechanical configuration of production lines, including tracking fixture revisions, tooling changes, and equipment modifications
- Interface with both engineers and technicians to optimize manufacturing, assembly, and automation workflows
QUALIFICATIONS- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline
- 1+ years of hands-on mechanical design, assembly, test, or manufacturing experience (internships, co-ops, and substantive project experience qualify)
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T
- CAD proficiency (NX, SolidWorks, or equivalent)
- Strong hands-on skills and comfort building, debugging, and modifying hardware in factory or lab environments
- Demonstrated engineering intuition, critical thinking, and comfort with ambiguity
- Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE- Experience integrating multi-station production lines, factory automation systems, or complex electro-mechanical assemblies
- Experience designing tooling, fixtures, or mechanical test hardware
- Experience with precision mechanical assemblies or optomechanical systems
- Familiarity with material handling systems, robotic pick-and-place, or automated alignment equipment
- Experience writing assembly procedures, test plans, and providing go/no-go judgment and rationale
- Documentation and configuration management experience in a production environment
- Scripting or data analysis experience (e.g., Python, MATLAB)
- Experience in a production environment with high attention to build quality and process discipline
