Integrate robots, motors, actuators, sensors, cameras, and control hardware.
Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on new product concepts.
Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and system-level issues.
Design for performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost.
Select and work with vendors and manufacturers to procure and fabricate components
Work closely with robotics, vision, AI, software, and hardware teams.
Support transition from prototype to engineering validation and production.
Qualifications
BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field.
3+ years of hands-on electromechanical or robotics product development experience.
Strong mechanical design and CAD skills.
Experience with motors, actuators, sensors, mechanisms, and motion systems.
Strong prototyping, assembly, testing, and debugging skills.
Ability to work across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries.
Strong ownership and ability to independently turn concepts into working prototypes.
Preferred
Robotics, industrial automation, or machine vision experience.
Experience integrating industrial robots or collaborative robots.
Experience with 3D cameras, structured light, stereo vision, LiDAR, or other 3D sensing technologies.
Experience with GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA, and prototype-to-production development.
Experience with control theory for robotic arms and object tracking.
