Mechanical Engineer

Efference

We are looking for an experienced mechanical engineer who is passionate about physical product design, solving complex packaging constraints, and building robust hardware that can survive in the real world. This role blends industrial design, thermal management, and hands‑on integration for devices deployed on highly dynamic robots like drones and manipulators. Requirements Experience with mechanical engineering and advanced 3D CAD modeling. System-level understanding of physical product design, structural integrity, and complex packaging. Strong understanding of thermal dissipation, weight optimization, and material selection. Deep understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to ensure enclosures can be mass‑produced efficiently. Hands‑on experience with mechanical testing and validation using standard lab equipment (e.g., thermal chambers, vibration tables, load testing). Responsibilities Own the industrial design and mechanical packaging for our hardware modules. Manage the complex thermal and weight trade‑offs required for integration into high‑performance platforms like drones, humanoids, and robotic arms. Design custom subcomponents and mounting architectures tailored for diverse robot form factors. Assist customers directly with the physical integration of our devices into their proprietary robotic platforms. Lead rapid prototyping, testing, and iteration of mechanical enclosures using tools like 3D printing and CNC machining. Conduct physical benchmarking and validation (thermal, vibration, drop, and structural testing) to ensure real‑world reliability. Apply DFM practices and collaborate closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) to transition designs from prototype to mass production. Nice to Have Experience working directly with contract manufacturers (CMs). Background in aerospace, drones, or ruggedized electronics. Familiarity with vibration isolation, dynamic load testing, and IP‑rated sealing (water/dust resistance). #J-18808-Ljbffr Efference
