Mechatronics Engineer, Robotic Fastening

The role

You will own electromechanical tooling for robotic assembly processes from concept to production. This involves designing end-of-arm tooling, integrating motors and sensors, and leading installation and commissioning on the factory floor.

What you will do

• Design end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) and mechanisms for robotic processes
• Select and integrate motors, drives, sensors and actuators
• Develop motor control and sensing for precision electromechanical tools
• Integrate tooling with industrial robot arms and cell controls and safety systems
• Build test stands and run experiments
• Design fixtures, sensor mounts and tooling for robotic cells
• Own design release, DFM and DFA with suppliers and the factory
• Lead installation, commissioning and validation on the factory floor
• Mentor engineers earlier in their careers

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or computer science
• Strong design intuition grounded in first-principles engineering judgment
• Deep mechanical fundamentals, including statics, dynamics, materials, joints and tolerance analysis
• Solid electrical fundamentals, including power distribution, motor drives and sensor wiring
• Working knowledge of feedback control, including torque and position loops tuned on real hardware
• Proven experience integrating motors, drives, sensors and mechanisms into industrial electromechanical systems
• Experience selecting and integrating sensors such as torque transducers, load cells and encoders
• Advanced skills in mechanism design and kinematics for high-uptime automation
• Fluency in a parametric CAD tool such as SolidWorks, NX or Onshape
• Daily use of AI tools for analysis, scripting and documentation, with experience reviewing and verifying outputs for quality and completeness

Nice to have

• Breaking open-ended problems into scoped prototypes and experiments
• Power electronics for motor drives, such as inverter stages and gate drivers
• Embedded firmware for motor control or sensing on a microcontroller
• DFM for precision machined and electromechanical parts
• DFA for precision assemblies built in small batches
• Programming industrial robots such as FANUC, ABB or UR
• Programming CMMs via PC-DMIS or I++
• System-level integration and validation in industrial environments, including FAT and SAT
• Building automated test stands or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans
• 401k
• Relocation support may be provided for certain situations
• Flexible vacation policy
• Equity
