Robotics DFA DFM FEA CAD PLC

Looking for a Senior Robotics Mechanical Engineer with 8+ years of experience.

Project: Automotive Manufacturing Systems 

Location: USA, IL

About the role:

Engineer will lead the design and integration of robotic workcells for high-volume automotive assembly lines. You’ll work with industrial robots (Fanuc, ABB, KUKA), EOAT (end-of-arm tooling), and precision mechanical systems to optimize throughput and reliability.

Among responsibilities:

• Design and validate mechanical systems for robotic welding, material handling, and assembly automation.

• Perform FEA simulations (ANSYS or SolidWorks Simulation) for structural and thermal loads.

• Lead DFM/DFA reviews with suppliers and manufacturing teams.

• Troubleshoot kinematic and dynamic issues in robotic workcells (e.g., vibration, misalignment).

• Collaborate with controls engineers on safety systems (ISO 10218, RIA/ANSI standards).

Requirements:

• MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Robotics.

• 8+ years in industrial robotics (automotive/aerospace preferred).

• Expertise in CAD (SolidWorks, NX), GD&T, and tolerance stack-ups.

• Hands-on experience with PLC-integrated systems (Siemens, Allen-Bradley).

• Knowledge of hydraulic/pneumatic systems and servo-driven actuators.
