About this role

ReLogic Research, Inc. is seeking a self-starting and highly-motivated individual to join our team! ReLogic’s central focus is to continually promote a culture that stimulates personal, professional, and intellectual growth, while developing elegant solutions to tough problems. We encourage teammates to be self-governing based on high standards of professionalism and judgement.

 

What You’ll Do

This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong design component. You’ll operate and apply advanced 3D scanning systems, produce high-quality CAD models from scan data, and support mechanical design projects from concept through fabrication. Day-to-day work spans digital measurement, reverse engineering, and design of tooling and hardware with direct impact on customer deliverables.

 

3D Scanning & Optical Metrology

  • Operate structured-light, laser, and photogrammetry scanners (Smarttech3D, ATOS, Hexagon, Leica) to capture detailed 3D geometry of components and assemblies
  • Perform Digital Image Correlation (DIC) data capture on hardware and material tests
  • Conduct dimensional inspections using Control X and GOM Inspect, applying GD&T best practices to verify part conformance

 

CAD Modeling & Reverse Engineering

  • Build parametric and surface 3D models in Geomagic Design X and Geomagic Wrap, working from scan data to reconstruct design intent or meet customer specifications
  • Produce engineering drawings and system schematics from scan-derived models
  • Collaborate with the design team to validate and refine models for downstream manufacturing use

 

Mechanical Design & Fabrication Support

  • Design tooling, fixtures, prototype hardware, and system assemblies — from sketch through CAD to fabricated part
  • Perform analyses to support and substantiate design approaches
  • Develop and optimize inspection and scanning workflows tailored to customer hardware and requirements

 

Qualifications

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • 2–5+ years of experience in mechanical design, metrology, quality inspection, or 3D scanning applications
  • Background in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or industrial equipment is a strong plus

 

Technical Skills — Core

  • Hands-on experience with 3D scanning technology (structured light, laser scanning, or photogrammetry)
  • Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks preferred; CATIA, NX, or similar also considered)
  • Solid understanding of GD&T and ability to read and create engineering drawings
  • Experience with metrology or inspection software (Geomagic, PolyWorks, or similar)

 

Technical Skills — Nice to Have

  • Experience with reverse engineering workflows and scan-to-CAD processes
  • Familiarity with automation or robotic scanning systems
  • Basic programming or scripting (Python, MATLAB, or similar) for workflow automation

 

Communication & Collaboration

  • Self-starter who can manage projects independently and communicate progress clearly
  • Comfortable working with customers on-site to understand requirements and demonstrate solutions
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills to solve tough problems
  • Willingness to travel approximately 25–50% for on-site support, demos, and customer engagement

 

Why ReLogic

  • Work on a wide variety of hardware — no two projects look the same
  • Use industry-leading scanning and metrology equipment from day one
  • A culture that values engineering, technical leadership, personal judgement, and autonomy
  • Full benefits, competitive salary, and a collaborative team enviroment that takes the work seriously

 

In addition to completing the application in BambooHR, please send a brief note about your interest, and any portfolio or previous projects highlighting your capability to hr@relogicresearch.com.



 

This is a full-time salaried position with full benefits offered. Approximately 25–50% of travel is expected.
