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
