Mechanical & Systems Engineer (Hardware + Linux)

We are seeking a versatile Electrical & Systems Engineer with some Mechanical Design experience who can bridge hardware, control systems, and Linux administration. This role is ideal for talented individuals looking for IT jobs that involve designing and building smart electrical control panels, integrating embedded systems, and maintaining the Linux-based infrastructure that powers our research instrumentation. This hands-on, multidisciplinary position is perfect for someone who enjoys creating robust, reliable hardware systems that merge electronics, software, and research.


**Hardware, Panels & Instrumentation**


Design, wire, assemble, and test smart electrical control panels used in preclinical research equipment. Integrate sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, and data-acquisition modules. Create wiring diagrams, schematics, assembly documentation, and mechanical layouts. Troubleshoot electrical and hardware integration issues — from component-level to system-level.


**Linux & Systems Administration**


Configure and maintain Linux-based edge devices, embedded systems, and lab computers. Handle system setup: networking, user management, security hardening, and backup strategies. Deploy, update, and manage software stacks related to research instrumentation. Monitor system performance and logs; support researchers and internal teams with system-level issues, drawing on skills similar to those of an application support analyst.


**Enclosure Fabrication & Mechanical Integration**


Design custom housings, mounts, and enclosures for research hardware (laser-cut, CNC, 3D-printed, etc.). Generate CAD files for manufacturable boxes, laser-cut panels, and precision-fit assemblies. Collaborate with mechanical engineers or external fabrication partners to iterate designs.


**Lab / Research Integration**


Commission hardware in research labs and perform functional validation. Collaborate closely with embedded software, firmware, mechanical engineering, and research staff. Maintain high standards of build quality, electrical safety, and clean documentation, essential for working with regulated lab equipment.


**What We’re Looking For**


Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent hands-on experience. Experience building electrical control panels, wiring harnesses, and instrumentation assemblies. Proficiency with Linux administration (Ubuntu, Debian, or similar). Familiarity with networking, automation scripts, and systems troubleshooting, akin to the skills of a database administrator. CAD skills for enclosure design (Fusion360, SolidWorks, Onshape, or similar). Experience with laser cutters, CNC, or other rapid-fabrication workflows. Strong practical skills (wiring, soldering, assembly, test equipment usage). Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering and research teams. Nice-to-have: experience with animal-research instrumentation or technical vacancies in regulated lab environments.


**What We Offer**


Work on unique, impactful hardware for life-science and preclinical research. Blend hands-on fabrication with systems engineering and Linux administration. Opportunities to expand into instrumentation design, R&D, and hardware leadership. Flexible working environment and cross-disciplinary team.
