Key Responsibilities

- Design and architect complex mechanical components for robotic systems—including manipulators, advanced end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), and mobile platforms.

- Perform comprehensive kinematic and dynamic analysis to optimize robot performance, reach, and payload capacity using software like Adams or MATLAB.

- Lead the integration of sensors, motors, actuators, and control systems into cohesive mechatronic designs.

- Utilize expert-level CAD skills, primarily in SolidWorks, to create detailed 3D models and production-ready 2D drawings, ensuring design for manufacturability (DFM).

- Select and validate materials based on stress analysis, weight constraints, and environmental factors to ensure system durability and reliability.

- Spearhead the rapid prototyping process, from initial concept to functional hardware, leveraging technologies like 3D printing for fast iteration.

- Develop and execute rigorous testing protocols to validate prototype performance against design specifications and real-world requirements.

- Collaborate closely with electrical and software engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration and functionality, particularly with ROS (Robot Operating System).


Qualifications

- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a closely related field.

- Demonstrated experience (typically 3-5+ years) in the mechanical design of robotic or automated systems.

- Proficiency in 3D CAD software is essential; deep expertise in SolidWorks is highly preferred (experience with other platforms like Creo or Inventor is also valuable).

- Solid understanding of kinematics, dynamics, control theory, and mechatronics principles.

- Hands-on experience with sensor integration (e.g., vision systems, force-torque sensors, IMUs) and actuator selection (e.g., servo motors, stepper motors, pneumatic systems).

- Familiarity with simulation and analysis tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, Adams, or ANSYS for FEA.

- Experience with rapid prototyping techniques and technologies, including FDM, SLA, or SLS 3D printing.

- Exposure to Robot Operating System (ROS) is a significant advantage... a bridge between mechanical and software domains.

- Exceptional problem-solving abilities and a methodical approach to debugging complex electromechanical systems.
