Fluke Calibration is seeking an experienced Staff Systems Engineer with a strong mechanical engineering foundation to provide product design and cross-disciplinary technical leadership for Temperature Calibration (TCAL) products, sustaining industry-leading calibration baths, dry-wells, furnaces, and metrology standards while contributing to next-generation platform designs. This role is based in Fluke Park HQ Everett, WA.
You will perform hands-on mechanical and thermal design work as an individual contributor while also leading cross-functional projects that span electrical, embedded software, metrology, and manufacturing, translating requirements across disciplines and balancing metrology performance with manufacturability and long-term supportability.
This role requires strong technical judgment and cross-functional influence, partnering with a small, deeply experienced team of temperature and pressure calibration specialists within the broader Fluke Engineering organization. You’ll report to the Product Technology Group (PTG) manager for Temperature, Pressure, and Flow Calibration.
Key Responsibilities
Product Design & Thermal Engineering
- Own mechanical and thermal design for new TCAL products, including baths, dry-wells, furnaces, and metrology standards (SPRT/PRT, fixed-point cells).
- Apply refrigeration and heater-system design across the full TCAL range of products.
Sustaining Engineering
- Lead sustaining programs supporting the factory, including component EOL mitigation, quality improvement, and yield improvement.
Cross-Functional Technical Leadership
- Bridge mechanical, electrical, embedded software, and metrology disciplines on shared problems.
- Translate metrology requirements (uncertainty, stability) into mechanical constraints, and back again.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline
- Extensive experience in mechanical, mechatronics, or electromechanical systems engineering, with a strong background in thermal systems design (refrigeration, heater systems)
- Precision mechanical design for thermal systems: tolerance stack-up, materials selection, sealing for thermal cycling
- Proficient with MCAD (e.g., Creo), ASME Y14.5 (GD&T), and DFX/DFMEA
- Sub-ambient refrigeration expertise: vapor-compression cycle design, low-GWP refrigerants, EEV control
- Experience specifying thermal-loop control behavior clearly enough for firmware to implement and test
Desired
- Thermal FEA simulation, CFD for convection, radiative heat transfer, gradient/uniformity characterization
- Experience sustaining test/measurement/calibration products with long service lifetimes
- Proven ability to lead technical direction across disciplines without direct managerial authority
- Familiarity with global compliance standards (CE, FCC, RoHS, IEC 61010)
- Metrology fluency (ITS-90, uncertainty budgeting, sensor behavior) sufficient to avoid mechanical decisions that corrupt measurement
- Experience with manufacturing scale-up, factory transitions, or supply chain strategy
