Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer

As a Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer, You will be part of a team working to design and develop the next generation of autonomous robots for outdoor applications. 

As a Robotic Mechanical Design Engineer, you will help design various components related to robotic systems and industrial automation systems in general. You will work closely with various engineers and will be responsible for generating engineering designs in adherence with design practices and assembly operations. The ideal candidate is expected to have strong knowledge of material selection, coatings, seals, bearings, tooling, mechanical assemblies, GD&T and drafting standards.

Candidate should have hands-on experience, a rapid prototyping mindset and the ability to work well with a cross-functional team towards the development of these new systems. Additionally, the ideal candidate should be familiar with 3D printing and practices involved with rapid prototyping.

As a Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Designing Fixtures and components.

• Initial layout, sizing, and optimization of systems.

• Designing complex electro-mechanical assemblies.

• Creation and maintenance of technical drawings and bill of materials.

• Working with various teams to support manufacturing, integration and testing.

• Conceptual level design work that will mature into a full 3D model that is thoroughly validated through FEA analysis and fundamental calculations.

• Progressing the design to manufacturing and conduct appropriate testing and integration in the process.

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Robotics Engineering. or a closely related field.

• 3 years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer in robotics (or similar) production environment, preferably in a fast-paced R&D environment.

• Spoken English communication. 

• You will have a strong understanding of Mechanical Engineering fundamentals including statics, dynamics, and structural mechanics.

• You will have commercial experience contributing to novel solution ideation and implementation.

• You will have the ability to design complex systems to strict aerospace standards with proper material selection, troubleshooting and analysis.

• You will be familiar with CAD software such as Solid works.

• You will be familiar with drafting standards including GD&T.

• You will have experience working with other engineers to improve DFM (Design for Manufacturability) while controlling cost and weight.

• You will be familiar with and capable to operate various workshop tools, machines and equipment.

• You will be a team player with strong communication skills, a willingness to learn from others and contribute back to the robotics community with publications or open-source code and capable of working independently as well as part of an interdisciplinary team.

• It would be advantageous to have a proficiency with FEM and familiarity with commercial FEA software Ansys.

• It would be advantageous to have a familiarity with a wide variety of electronic and electromechanical technologies.

• It would be advantageous to have composite part fabrication experience: Trimming, drilling, surface preparation, structural bonding.
