The role
You will lead the end-to-end design and development of complex electromechanical hardware and robotic systems. You will build, test, and iterate on prototypes and perform structural, thermal, and tolerance analyses.
What you will do
- Design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for data collection hardware and robotic devices.
- Build, test, and break prototypes using 3D printing, CNC machining, and manual fabrication.
- Contribute to DFM/DFA efforts to ensure designs can scale to high-volume production.
- Source components and work with machine shops and CMs to ensure parts are manufactured and shipped to spec.
- Perform basic analyses including tolerance, structural, and thermal to validate design decisions.
- Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime.
- Assist in documentation for design reviews and testing.
- Collaborate with electrical, software, and industrial design teams to integrate mechanical systems.
Required qualifications
- 5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors
- Familiarity with rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D Printing, Machining, etc.
- High proficiency in SolidWorks, Catia or similar tools
- Hands-on problem-solving approach with ability to iterate quickly
- Experience designing for volume processes (Injection molding, CNC, etc.) and working with contract manufacturers
- Exceptional Mechanical Intuition
