Senior Mechatronics Engineer

Position Overview

NoPo Nanotechnologies is seeking an experienced Senior Mechatronics Engineer to lead the design, development, and implementation of advanced instrumentation systems integrated with our HiPCO Reactor and emerging nanotube-based technologies. This role demands strong technical expertise across mechanical, electrical, control, and software systems, combined with an aptitude for R&D and technology creation within a precision, ISO-compliant environment.

The ideal candidate will excel in both conceptual and hands-on work — bridging scientific principles with practical implementation to develop novel instruments used in the synthesis, measurement, and application of carbon nanotube-based materials such as membranes, filters, and detectors.

Key Responsibilities

• Research & Development

oLead the design and prototyping of new mechatronic instruments and modules supporting HiPCO reactors and nanotube-related products.

oTranslate scientific objectives into engineered solutions through detailed design, simulation, and iterative prototyping.

oInvestigate, test, and optimize mechanical, electronic, and control subsystems for precision and reliability.

oBuild and integrate multi-disciplinary systems including sensors, actuators, micro controllers, power systems, and fluid / thermal control hardware.

oCollaborate with materials scientists, chemical engineers, and system developers to design custom instrumentation and automation tools.

oContribute to development of next-generation nanotube-based applications, ensuring mechanical-electronic compatibility and performance stability.

oDevelop and follow detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all design, test, and qualification activities.

oPrepare and maintain comprehensive technical documentation including design reports, specifications, assembly drawings, and test records.

oParticipate in ISO 9001 quality systems, calibration procedures, and process validation practices.

oMentor junior engineers and technicians in mechatronics design and prototyping practice.

oManage time, resources, and technical milestones to deliver functional prototypes and production-ready systems.

oSupport technology transfer from R&D to manufacturing and ensure scalable, reliable design outcomes.

oEnsure all projects adhere to ISO, IEC, and internal engineering standards and comply with laboratory safety guidelines.

oParticipate in continuous improvement programs focused on quality, safety, and sustainability.
