Cleveland, Queensland, Australia Peak Nano Full time

Peak Nano is seeking an innovative Principal Opto-Mechanical Engineer with demonstrated experience bringing new opto-mechanical products to market. The ideal candidate will bring deep domain expertise in the design, manufacture, and test of imaging optics intended for use in harsh environmental conditions (ex: fire control, night vision).

Key responsibilities include:

  • Lead the design, analysis, and integration of precision opto-mechanical assemblies for optical systems.
  • Provide consistent, proactive guidance on Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Assembly (DFA) and Test (DFT) to support product development efforts.
  • Develop innovative mechanical solutions that align with optical, thermal, and structural requirements.
  • Collaborate with optical designers, optomechanical designers, manufacturing engineers, and test engineers to define interface requirements and ensure cohesive product development.
  • Guide prototype builds and support optical and environmental performance testing to iterate and refine designs.
  • Lead design reviews, provide mentorship to junior engineers, and contribute to best practices in opto-mechanical engineering.
  • Document all aspects of design, including CAD models, drawings, and specifications, for manufacturing and quality assurance.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in opto-mechanical design and development.
  • Demonstrated experience with technical delivery of opto-mechanical products from ideation to launch.
  • Expertise in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, NX), optical tolerancing and design for manufacturability (DFM).
  • Experience with environmental exposure tests and optical performance validation including shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, chemical and UV exposure.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or related discipline.
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, or medical device industries.
  • Familiarity with optical design tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V) and systems integration.
  • Strong background in structural and thermal analysis techniques, including FEA.
  • Knowledge of materials science, adhesives, coatings, and environmental sealing for optics.
  • Strong project management skills and experience with product lifecycle management (PLM) tools.
