Job Description

RAD SOURCE TECHNOLOGIES

Senior Mechanical Engineer – Machine Design

Full-Time | On-Site | Experienced Level

About the Role

The Mechanical Engineering team at Rad Source Technologies, Inc. handles all products from conceptual design through production, focusing on electro-mechanical medical and industrial equipment. Members of this team are responsible for machine design and testing as well as supporting all production manufacturing processes. The team operates as a single unit, and members are expected to work collaboratively and uphold company standards.

A Senior Mechanical Engineer is expected to perform without oversight or assistance. Candidates will initially focus on either the design or manufacturing role, with the option to add the other over time.

Machine Design

• Lead the translation of design inputs into functional concepts, prototypes, and production-ready solutions.
• Create and own 3D CAD models (SolidWorks) and manufacturing drawings to AMW standards.
• Perform finite element analyses (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations independently.
• Develop bills of materials, product specifications, and vendor qualifications.
• Conduct validation testing and author build instructions, operating manuals, and supporting documentation.
• Perform Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) on proposed solutions.
• Research applicable standards, listings, and certifications to ensure full product compliance.

Manufacturing Engineering

• Create and review manufacturing support materials for customer-supplied models and drawings.
• Determine equipment and material requirements; configure manufacturing processes and ERP entries.
• Design tooling and fixtures that improve productivity, safety, and quality, with full supporting documentation.
• Author work instructions and oversee prototype manufacture and first-article processes.
• Lead process studies, analyze data, identify improvement opportunities, and partner with Quality on corrective actions.
• Perform Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) on proposed manufacturing changes.

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.
• 5–15+ years of hands-on machine design experience — depth and relevance matter more than total years.
• Demonstrated proficiency in SolidWorks: 3D modeling, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings.
• Experience with FEA and/or CFD simulation in a production engineering environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; collaborative and respectful team approach.

Preferred / Bonus

• Familiarity with electromagnetic radiation emission and related safety/compliance standards.
• Knowledge of ISO 9001 quality management systems and certification maintenance.
• Experience working within an ERP system (parts, assemblies, routings).
• Background in both design and manufacturing engineering disciplines.

Note: Finalists will complete a practical skills assessment covering SolidWorks modeling, drawing standards, FEA/CFD setup, and manufacturing process knowledge to validate experience.

Compensation:

• Compensation is competitive and will be based on the candidate's skills, experience, and qualifications.

Benefits

• Monthly Benefit Allowance awarded to all employees.
• Comprehensive Benefits Package
• 401(k) Match – 100% up to 5% match / fully vested immediately.
• PTO and Holiday Pay
• Opportunities for growth
• Monday - Friday

Rad Source was founded in 1997 for the purpose of creating non-gamma irradiation alternatives. Even prior to the more recent security issues associated with radioactive gamma sources, the company’s vision was to solve environmental disposal and related practical issues associated with “hot” source equipment.

Based on that, we introduced our first products in 1999 incorporating x-ray technology including the first FDA cleared x-ray blood irradiator as well as our laboratory research x-ray irradiator, the RS 2000.

Since then, we’ve continued expanding our capabilities and adding to our proprietary x-ray based irradiation technology, developing proprietary x-ray sources and new equipment. We are a global enterprise and our equipment resides in major pharmaceutical labs, healthcare institutions and renowned universities around the world. We are based in Buford, Georgia, USA where our highly qualified and dedicated staff continues to develop our technology, design and produce our equipment.
