Join us on our mission to make thermal imaging a part of everyday life!

At Seek, you\'ll get to work with the world-class engineers that pioneered the technology, and now they're building an organization that's built on that same pioneering spirit…but we can't do it alone. We want your ideas, your enthusiasm, and your passion to help us make thermal imaging a part of everyday life, for everyone.

We love where we work, and so can you.

What We're Looking For

The Senior Lead Mechanical Engineer will serve as a technical leader of mechanical design for next- thermal imaging products. This role requires deep technical expertise, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to guide a team through the entire product lifecycle, from early concept to volume manufacturing. You will collaborate with electrical, optical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to deliver rugged, high-performance, and manufacturable products, while setting best practices and mentoring the mechanical engineering team. The Senior Lead Mechanical Engineer will report directly to the VP of Engineering.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the mechanical design architecture for multiple thermal imaging products and platforms.
  • Define mechanical design strategies that optimize performance, manufacturability, and cost.
  • Oversee complex tolerance, stress, thermal, and modal analyses.
  • Drive design from concept to production, including prototyping, EV / DV / PV Test phases, and launch.
  • Lead critical design and cross-functional reviews to ensure alignment across disciplines.
  • Manage schedules, risks, and trade-offs for mechanical deliverables.
  • Implement advanced mechanical solutions for ruggedized, high-precision, and thermally constrained systems.
  • Champion DFM / DFA practices and ensure smooth transition to high-volume manufacturing.
  • Provide technical mentorship and career development for mechanical engineers.
  • Establish and enforce engineering best practices, design standards, and documentation rigor.
  • Partner with optics, electronics, and industrial design teams to ensure seamless integration.
  • Engage with suppliers for material selection, process validation, and tooling optimization

Skills, Knowledge and Abilities

  • Expertise in mechanical design using SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD tools and simulation tools (FEA).
  • Deep understanding of high-volume plastic injection molding and cast metal part fabrication.
  • Deep experience with thermal management, environmental sealing, and ruggedized enclosures.
  • Strong background in precision mechanisms, DFM / DFA, and volume production processes.
  • Familiarity with IP-rated designs and environmental testing (shock, vibration, thermal cycling).
  • Knowledge of optical sensor packaging and EMI / thermal isolation strategies.
  • Deep experience with thermal management, environmental sealing, and ruggedized enclosures.
  • Strong background in precision mechanisms, DFM / DFA, and volume production processes.
  • Excellent collaboration, interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Track record of mentoring and leading mechanical teams
  • Shape the mechanical design of industry-leading thermal imaging products.
  • Lead cross-disciplinary innovation at the intersection of optics, electronics, and AI.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in mechanical design for complex electromechanical or optoelectronic systems. In exceptional cases, significant relevant experience may substitute for formal degree requirements.
  • Additional Information

  • Must be a U.S. or Permanent
  • This is an onsite position, not remote
