Possible extension

The primary responsibility of the ME is to design and deliver 4 desktop T2VP validation platforms — fixtures, adaptor plates, and the full mechanical platform — fabricated, assembled, tested, calibrated, packaged, and deployed to validation-team customers, ready for use.

Must-Have Skills

• Hardware/optomechanical fixture and platform design experience.
• Build / test / calibration experience with precision mechanical assemblies.
• Comfortable with hands-on assembly, procurement logistics, and on-site XFN support.
• Hands-on DFM experience working with US and APAC contract manufacturers.

Nice-to-have Skills          

• Experience with Meta CAD and PLM tools.
• Experience with thermal design, vibration analysis, dust-, and humidity mitigation
• Experience releasing fabrication-drawing using PLM systems.

The ME will be responsible for the following:

• CAD design of fixtures and adaptor plates using client-approved mechanical CAD tools.
• Full-platform CAD design — model the entire T2VP assembly in CAD, integrating STEP files provided by instrument vendors.
• Fabrication support for all custom mechanical parts
• Fab drawing release — produce and release fabrication drawings with appropriate GD&T and tolerancing.
• DFM reviews — conduct Design-for-Manufacturability reviews and iterate with US and/or APAC manufacturers.
• Build, test, and calibrate the platforms.
• Procurement — purchase Pelican cases (and associated packaging/consumables) for platform transport.
• Packaging & shipping of the completed platforms to customer sites.
• On-site assembly support at validation-team customer locations.
