Codetta Bio is seeking a junior-level Mechanical Engineer for a temporary role to support the development and refinement of our life science instrumentation. The ideal candidate will be skilled at working with existing CAD models, generating high-quality SOLIDWORKS drawings, and applying proper tolerancing and GD&T principles to ensure manufacturability and reliability.
This is a hands-on role within dynamic team, offering the opportunity to contribute directly to hardware that impacts the future of biological research.

Responsibilities:

• Work with existing CAD models to update, modify, and improve mechanical components and assemblies.
• Create and revise detailed SOLIDWORKS part and assembly drawings, including accurate GD&T and tolerances.
• Support prototype builds and work closely with engineers and external vendors to ensure design intent is met.
• Conduct tolerance stack-up analyses to validate manufacturability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional team members (mechanical, electrical, and assay team) to ensure designs align with system requirements.
• Document design changes, drawing revisions, and release to manufacturing in an organized manner.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related field), or equivalent practical experience.
• 1–3+ years of relevant mechanical engineering experience (internships or co-op experience welcome).
• Proficiency in SOLIDWORKS (part, assembly, and drawing modules).
• Knowledge of GD&T, tolerancing, and DFM principles.
• Experience preparing fabrication-ready drawings for machined, sheet metal, or injection-molded parts.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and communication skills.
• Must be local to the Research Triangle Park (RTP), NC area or willing to reliably commute.

Additional Information:
This is a temporary position with the potential for extension based on project needs.
