We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to support new product development in genomics instrumentation. This is a mechanical design focused role working on custom mechanisms and precision motion systems.  Seeking an engineer with experience in designing of motorized mechanisms including a good understanding of control systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop custom mechanical mechanisms for use in genomics instruments, including motion systems, precision assemblies, and fluidic or sample‑handling components.
• Integrate mechanical designs with electrical, firmware, and control systems
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and supporting documentation.
• Perform mechanical analyses such as tolerance stack‑ups, material selection, and basic structural evaluation.
• Build and evaluate prototypes to verify design intent and system performance.
• Support system testing, troubleshooting, and iterative refinement during development.
• Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing partners on fabrication and assembly processes.

Required Qualifications

• Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 3 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience.
