This role applies expertise in mechanical design, optical design, tolerance analysis, and product development to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions that meet technical, quality, and manufacturability requirements.\n\nWorking in a collaborative, cross-functional environment, the Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer partners with electrical, thermal, systems, and manufacturing engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle, from concept and prototyping through production release. The successful candidate combines strong analytical and problem-solving skills with hands-on engineering experience to develop innovative opto-mechanical designs, support testing and validation activities, and drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance product performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.\n\nResponsibilities:\nDesign and develop opto-mechanical assemblies, including lenses, sensors, light guides, and enclosures, ensuring alignment with optical performance, mechanical integrity, thermal requirements, and manufacturability objectives. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to support system integration, prototype development, testing, and production readiness.\nSupport and perform testing, prototype builds, and validation of opto-mechanical systems to verify compliance with performance, reliability, and design requirements. Develop and execute test plans, analyze results, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and implement design improvements throughout the product development lifecycle.\nCollaborate closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners on fabrication processes, optical coatings, precision machining, and component quality to ensure compliance with design specifications and performance requirements. Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) initiatives to improve product quality, enhance reliability, streamline production, and optimize overall cost.\nTroubleshoot and resolve performance issues related to optical systems, vibration, thermal drift, and alignment by conducting root cause analysis, evaluating test data, and implementing corrective design solutions to improve system performance, stability, and reliability.\nCreate detailed 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), to support the development, fabrication, inspection, and assembly of opto-mechanical components and systems. Participate in design reviews by presenting design concepts, evaluating technical risks, incorporating feedback, and ensuring designs meet performance, quality, manufacturability, and reliability requirements.\nConduct optical simulations and perform thermal and structural analyses to evaluate and optimize system performance, identify potential design risks, and ensure optical alignment, stability, and functionality are maintained across operating and environmental conditions.\nQualifications: \nBachelors Degree - Mechanical Engineering - Required\nMasters Degree - Mechanical Science Degree - Preferred \n6-8 years experience opto-mechanical design in relevant industries(e.g., imaging systems, AV hardware, photonics, medical devices, aerospace)\n5-7 years experience Optical system fundamentals (lenses, sensors, illumination) \n5-7 years experience Precision tolerancing and alignment techniques\n5-7 year experience Materials and thermal effects in optical systems\nExperience with CAD engineering design, CREO preferred.\nAbility to be onsite at Crestron Volvo drive campus 3 days per week in Rockleigh NJ (hybrid work arrangement)","description_format":"text","description_chars":3811,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy & Utilities","Science & Engineering","Electrical & Electronic Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T20:42:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":45,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.599,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":36,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/crestron-senior-opto-mechanical-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/crestron-senior-opto-mechanical-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T01:34:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2618,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":181558},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=181558"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcrestron-senior-opto-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcrestron-senior-opto-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcrestron-senior-opto-mechanical-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/crestron-senior-opto-mechanical-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcrestron-senior-opto-mechanical-engineer"}]}
