# Mechanical Design Engineer – Precision Instruments

Hummingbird Scientific is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to develop advanced precision instrumentation for in-situ electron microscopy. Our products are used by leading universities and national laboratories worldwide to study materials at the atomic scale, and they operate under demanding conditions: high vacuum, nanometer-level stability, heating, electrical biasing, and liquid and gas flow, often within extremely constrained spaces. We are looking for a strong mechanical designer who can turn challenging technical concepts into manufacturable, working products. This role requires more than CAD proficiency: you will do the math, design at the assembly and system level, and own your designs through prototyping and release, working closely with our engineering team in Lacey, Washington, USA, and with machining and fabrication vendors in India. You do not need to be an expert in every technology we use, but you do need the engineering foundation, initiative, and ability to learn what each new project requires.Requirements What You'll Do Precision Mechanical Design and Product Development Design complete precision mechanical assemblies and mechatronic systems from initial conce
