Why This Role Matters

This role is critical to the design of systems and components, prototyping, and
implementing new solutions to pulser systems

What You'll Do

Design and analyze large, high-performance vacuum seals for water-to-air, air-to-high-vacuum, and water-to-high-vacuum transitions
Lead experimental design and testing in collaboration with internal teams, external vendors, and academic partners
Conduct research into novel sealing techniques; define, execute, and evaluate test campaigns
Perform FMEA and tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure seal reliability and system safety
Design test assemblies and risk-reduction
Review and present technical work across multidisciplinary teams; contribute to system-level integration discussions
Provide subject-matter expertise in sealing strategies and help guide the integration of systems in the target area
Document sealing processes, validation data, and lessons learned
Mentor and support junior engineers on design and integration challenges
Interact with suppliers of vacuum systems components and electrical testing components for purchasing

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or a related engineering field, or equivalent experience
5+ years of mechanical design experience with a focus on vacuum seals and systems, including rough, high, and ultra-high vacuum environments
Strong proficiency in CAD, FEM, and engineering analysis tools
Proven expertise in tolerance analysis, FMEA, seal design, and mechanical integration
