Mechanical Engineer III

The Mechanical Engineer III plays a key role in the ngGONG design project, leading the development of mechanical subsystems that support high-precision solar observatory performance. Working closely with the Principal Mechanical Engineer and cross-disciplinary teams, this role translates scientific and system requirements into practical, manufacturable designs that meet demanding standards for precision, stability, and reliability. The ME III contributes directly to the performance, serviceability, and long-term success of ngGONG’s telescope and instrumentation systems. The ngGONG project is currently funded for a three-year design phase, with potential advancement into construction. This position is based in Boulder, Colorado.
