Mechanical & Thermal Engineer - Vacuum Pumps

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for scroll and rotary vane vacuum pumps.
• Perform structural analyses using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools to evaluate strength, stiffness, fatigue life, and reliability of components and systems.
• Support fluid dynamic and thermal analyses to evaluate flow behavior, heat transfer, and overall product performance.
• Plan, execute, and analyze experimental validation activities to correlate simulation results with physical testing.
• Develop and perform tests to verify structural, fluid dynamic, and thermal performance.
• Support noise and vibration investigations through data acquisition and analysis.
• Develop test plans, analyze results, and generate technical reports and recommendations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve technical issues and drive product improvements.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of simulation methodologies, testing processes, and product performance.
• Support root cause investigations and corrective actions related to field and manufacturing issues.

Qualifications

• Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
• Typically 4+ years of relevant experience in mechanical product development, analysis, or validation engineering.
