Mechanical Engineer

DiCon has an immediate need for a Mechanical Engineer, to design and develop solid-state lighting fixtures, as well as other optical devices. The position will be focused primarily on the development of new products for the multiple product lines of DiCon Lighting, from initial concept to production ramp-up, although there may also be some work related to DiCon’s optical communications products. As such, the primary function for this position is the mechanical design and development of a broad range of solid-state lighting products, aimed at multiple applications. In addition to the development of new products, there will be a significant focus on the redesign of existing products, to achieve major reductions in size and cost, as well as performance improvements. The position also includes partial ownership of DiCon’s product development process, with responsibility for identifying and implementing process improvements that will reduce time-to-market, lower costs, and improve product quality and reliability. The position requires working closely with optical, electrical, and thermal engineers, industrial designers, as well as manufacturing engineers, QA, field application engineers, and representatives from sales and marketing.
