Advanced SolidWorks proficiency, including part and assembly modeling, detailed drawings, configurations, and release documentation.
Experience designing precision tooling, fixtures, lifting devices, handling systems, and opto-mechanical assemblies for manufacturing environments.
Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, engineering drawings, design for manufacturability, and mechanical analysis methods, including FEA.
Experience supporting precision optical manufacturing environments, including large, fragile, high-value components, combined with strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Demonstrated ability and willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, decision-making, work quality, and to reduce costs. The successful candidate must be able to identify appropriate AI use cases and critically evaluate AI-generated outputs

Bring your passion and commitment to Zygo, where we are curious, collaborative, persistent, confident, and problem-solvers — and where safety and quality guide every step of our journey. Grow with us as we solve complex challenges, inspire confidence, and drive excellence in manufacturing.

Are you ready to expand the boundaries of possibility, simplify the complex, and embody the values that define our success?
