Description PSA is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to own mechanical subsystems from problem definition and concept through drawings, build and field use. Example projects include a two-axis camera positioner and an integrated camera and flash housing for BenchBot, redesigns that make the machine cheaper to build and more durable, and a sealed die cast camera housing that packages multiple PCBs, dense connectors and a removable SSD, developed closely with the electrical team. The engineer will produce production-ready models, drawings and bills of materials; select bearings, fasteners and motion components; and design for outside CNC, sheet metal, fabrication and casting vendors.
