Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking a motivated Mechanical Design Engineer to support the design and development of high-precision linear motion stages, gantries, and actuator modules for global customers. The successful candidate will apply strong mechanical design fundamentals and hands-on CAD experience to translate specifications into practical, manufacturable engineering solutions, working closely with senior engineers to build deeper precision motion expertise.

Job Responsibilities


Mechanical Design & Development

· Design and develop precision stages, gantries, actuator modules, and motion system components from conceptual design through detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks.

· Prepare, review, and maintain mechanical drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), technical specifications, and engineering documentation.

· Release official BOMs and manufacturing drawings for costing, procurement, and production purposes.

· Assess machining tolerances, material selection, and assembly requirements to ensure product performance and manufacturability.

· Provide engineering support to Production, Manufacturing, and New Product Introduction (NPI) teams for new and existing mechanical systems.

Testing & Technical Support

· Support system testing, evaluation, and troubleshooting of precision motion stages, actuator modules, and assembly-level components.

· Assist in integrating motors, encoders, servo drives, actuators, and sensors into precision motion system assemblies.

· Support commissioning and functional verification of assembled motion systems prior to release.

· Work closely with Sales, Engineering, Production, and Customers to resolve technical issues and support product improvement.

· Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance product quality, reliability, and engineering efficiency.

· Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned by the supervisor.


People Requirements

· Bachelor's Degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.

· 2 to 3 years of experience in precision mechanical design;

· Hands-on experience in mechanical design using SolidWorks

· Exposure to product design involving precision motion systems, stages, or actuators is an advantage.

· Working knowledge of precision stage, gantry, actuator, and motion system design fundamentals.

· Proficient in 3D CAD modelling, detailed engineering drawings, and BOM management.

· Good understanding of precision machining, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and assembly techniques.

· Basic familiarity with motion control components such as servo drives, encoders, and actuators is an advantage.

· Willingness to learn system testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting of precision motion equipment.

· Self-motivated, responsible, and eager to learn, with the ability to work under guidance and grow toward greater independence.

· Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

· Able to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines.

· Effective communication and teamwork skills.

· Professional, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
