Mechatronics Engineer – Robotics & Automation Design
You will join an award-winning R&D group that fuses mechanical ingenuity, electronics craftsmanship, and software intuition to bring intelligent machines to life. The culture prizes curiosity, evidence-based decisions, and rapid learning loops—empowering you to transform sketches into manufacturable realities.
Responsibilities
- Create resilient electromechanical architectures for consumer, medical, automotive, and aerospace devices.
- Model dynamic mechanisms in MATLAB/Simulink; verify through hardware-in-the-loop scenarios.
- Select sensors, design acquisition pipelines, and implement sensor-fusion algorithms for precise feedback.
- Develop actuator and motor-drive strategies—BLDC, stepper, servo—meeting torque, speed, and efficiency targets.
- Program microcontrollers (STM32, MSP430, Arduino) in C/C++ to execute real-time control loops.
- Integrate PCB layouts from Altium and OrCAD with mechanical envelopes in SolidWorks.
- Conduct FMEA and root-cause analysis to raise system reliability above Six Sigma thresholds.
- Prototype smart assemblies with 3-D printing, laser-cutting, and rapid SMT reflow; iterate quickly.
- Collaborate with industrial designers, firmware engineers, and manufacturing to transition concepts to volume production.
- Document tech files, verification reports, and risk analyses that satisfy ISO 13485, AS9100, and automotive A-SPICE.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechatronics, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering.
- 5+ years designing robotic or automated products from concept through launch.
- Fluent in SolidWorks, CATIA or NX for complex surface and mechanism modeling.
- Proficiency in Altium Designer plus high-speed PCB stack-ups and controlled-impedance routing.
- Strong command of control theory—PID, state-space, Kalman filters, advanced motion profiles.
- Demonstrated skill with MATLAB, Simulink, and Python for data analytics and simulation.
- Hands-on experience debugging embedded firmware using JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
- Familiarity with communication buses: CAN-FD, EtherCAT, SPI, I²C, RS-485.
- Ability to craft clear technical documentation and present findings to multidisciplinary audiences.
- U.S. work authorization and willingness to cooperate across multiple time zones; remote collaboration available.
