Job Description
Description:
Design and develop mechanical assemblies for mobile robotic welding platforms, including sensor integration, structural components, motion systems, and tooling interfaces.
Own designs from concept through fabrication, assembly, and field validation, iterating based on test results and real-world feedback.
Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineers to integrate sensing hardware into compact, robust mechanical packages.
Apply design-for-manufacturing principles across machined components, sheet metal enclosures, and additive or 3D-printed parts.
Create and maintain CAD models, assemblies, drawings, and BOMs in SolidWorks using PDM.
Participate in design reviews and contribute to engineering decisions by balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability.
Work directly with fabrication vendors and internal shop resources to turn drawings into parts quickly.
Support root cause analysis and design improvements based on field findings and reliability data.
Requirements:
3–6 years of mechanical engineering experience in a product development or hardware engineering environment.
Proficiency in SolidWorks for multi-body and multi-component assemblies.
Hands-on experience with PDM for version control and release workflows.
Solid command of engineering drawing standards and the ability to produce clear, manufacturable drawings.
Working familiarity with GD&T.
Demonstrated experience designing for machining, sheet metal, and additive manufacturing.
Ability to read and reason about mechanical interfaces within broader electromechanical systems.
Experience in a hands-on, rapid-iteration hardware environment (preferred).
Benefits:
Competitive salary and equity in a well-funded, high-growth robotics company.
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
401(k) retirement plan.
Flexible PTO.
Hands-on, collaborative culture.
