Job description
We are seeking a driven Hardware Engineer with proven hands-on experience in designing complex robotics mechanisms for real-world, high-DOF robotic systems, for example, Agile One. You will help maintain current products and robotic systems to ensure continuous operation, while also developing durable mechanisms for new prototypes and overseeing designs through production and testing.
Success in this position requires a combination of technical expertise, hands-on problem-solving, and the ability to adapt and make sound decisions in fast-paced, uncertain environments.
Your Responsibilities
- Design and develop complex robotic mechanisms, ensuring high precision, reliability, and manufacturability (drawing to part)
- Create detailed CAD models, technical drawings, and assembly documentation for production
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, software, manufacturing) to ensure seamless system integration
- Develop and maintain Bill of Materials (BOM), assembly instructions, and quality control documentation
- Prototype, test, and iterate on mechanical designs to meet performance and durability requirements
- Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues during development and production phases* Stay updated with emerging technologies and best practices in robotics and mechanical design
- Work autonomously on open-ended, evolving tasks
Requirements
Do you have experience in SolidWorks?, * Proficiency in SolidWorks (3dx) for complex mechanism design
- Strong knowledge of mechanical design principles (kinematics, dynamics, material selection, and fatigue analysis)
- Experience with actuator selection (motors, linear actuators, torque/speed specs)* Familiarity with sensor integration (force/torque sensors, encoders, IMUs)
- Expertise in gearboxes, linkages, and transmission systems for high-precision robot motion control
- Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping (3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting)
- Knowledge of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
- Understanding of thermal management solutions for high-power density systems
- Ability to perform tolerance stack-up analysis for multi-component assemblies, * Experience in robotics, mechatronics, or automation industries
- Background in designing articulated systems with multi-DOF (degrees of freedom)
- Familiarity with lightweight and high-strength materials (carbon fiber, composites, aluminum alloys)
- Knowledge of dynamic sealing solutions for moving parts in harsh environments
- Experience in integration of electromechanical components (actuators, sensors, bearings, gears, etc) for optimal performance in robots
- Knowledge of structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis to validate designs, * Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
- Self-motivated with a passion for cutting-edge robotics technology
- Detail-oriented with a focus on robust system design
- Adaptable to a fast-paced development cycle
