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.
