Original job description

Our client is seeking a Sr Mechanical Engineer (Contractor) to join their team. The ideal candidate will have strong technical leadership, clear cross-functional communication, and a disciplined approach to qualification and risk management which will align successfully in the organization. Job Title: Sr Mechanical Engineer (Contractor) Location: Hayward, CA Pay Range: $54.50 What's the Job?

Lead supplier-relocation engineering activities for DNA sequencing systems, owning qualification strategies, scope, requirements, schedules, budgets, risks, and deliverables for mechanical parts, assemblies, and manufacturing processes.
Review drawings, specifications, BOMs, manufacturing processes, tooling, inspection methods, and historical quality data to identify technical gaps and define qualification requirements.
Collaborate with suppliers to obtain qualification documentation, qualification samples, inspection records, material certifications, capability studies, and validation evidence.
Develop and execute risk assessments and verification/validation protocols, including dimensional and functional testing, measurement-system analysis, and process-capability studies needed for part qualification.
Drive resolution of qualification failures and supplier deviations through root-cause analysis, corrective action, documented retesting, and evidence-based closure. What's Needed?
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with 5+ years of relevant experience, or B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with 8+ years of relevant experience.
Experience in sustaining engineering, supplier quality, part qualification, or manufacturing transfer, preferably in life sciences, medical devices, or another regulated industry.
Strong proficiency in mechanical design, SolidWorks, GD&T, precision assemblies, materials, manufacturing processes, and supplier part qualification.
Ability to connect material properties, dimensional variation, process capability, and fabrication methods to product performance and qualification requirements.
Demonstrated ability to lead root-cause analysis, resolve supplier technical issues, and implement effective corrective actions, with excellent verbal and written technical communication. What's in it for me?
Opportunity to lead high-impact supplier relocation qualification work that supports continued design, quality, reliability, and performance requirements.
Chance to partner with Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Regulatory, and Process Engineering to drive evidence-based decisions and internal approvals.
Ownership of end-to-end qualification records and lifecycle documentation, including change control and release to manufacturing.
Motivation to solve complex technical challenges using structured risk assessment, verification/validation, and corrective action processes.
Support for professional growth through exposure to regulated-industry qualification expectations and cross-functional collaboration.
