Mechanical Designer

Mechanical DesignerCarnegie Robotics designs and manufactures advanced robotics systems and components for defense, agricultural, mining, industrial, and off-road autonomy applications. Our ruggedized solutions can meet the challenges of any industry, providing effective and efficient answers for even the toughest problems.We are a dynamic team committed to making the impossible possible. Our staff comes from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, fueling our ethos of collective growth and passion towards our work. We warmly welcome individuals of similar mindset to join our ranks.As a Mechanical Designer, you will be collaborating with an interdisciplinary team focusing on developing reliable robotic and automation systems for a wide variety of real-world commercial products and R&D applications. Projects have ranged from designing cutting-edge stereo cameras to developing entire wheeled vehicles from the ground up for specialized purposes. Carnegie Robotics works on one of the broadest spectrums of products of any robotics company: there are always new challenges to attack.What Your Day to Day IsModelling parts and assemblies in CAD (Solidworks) both for concept development and detailed sensor and mechanism designCreating drawings for manufacturing using GD&T, working with suppliers to improve design for manufacturabilityWorking with engineering technicians to quickly prototype in-house, using Carnegie's waterjet, lasercutter, mill, lathe, sheet metal tools, welding equipment, and 3D printer farmCreating and maintaining engineering bill of materialsWorking with production technicians and engineers to transition prototype products to production validated buildsPreparing and presenting product reports as needed for management, suppliers, and customersTravelling occasionally (5% of time or less) to support on-site testing of systemsPerforming other duties as assignedWhat You'll HaveAssociates Degree in drafting, preferably mechanical design or a related fieldProduct design background, including design work that integrates mechanisms and electronicsStrong ability with CAD tools (SolidWorks is preferred)A strong sense of personal accountability and initiativeAbility to thrive in an independent environmentStrong understanding of mechanisms and the tradeoffs between cost, weight, reliability, lead time and complexityWritten and presentation skills required to communicate to external customers and internally to teammatesAuthorization to work for any US employer. The company is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position.How You'll Stand OutHave a propensity to build and test things on your own time, exhibiting a deep interest in engineering design and analysis both in the office and at homeIdeal candidates will have seen robotics and mechanical challenges before and will additionally have:Familiarity with GD&T drawings, BOM management, and releasing products to a production groupExperience in production-level design and testing methodsWhat You'll Get Out Of ItUPMC health coverage with FSA or HSA optionsComprehensive dental, vision, and life insuranceFidelity 401(k) plan with employer matchFree catered lunch every day with a vegan option31 Days of PTO (including holidays)Comp time for company travelCarnegie Robotics is an Equal Opportunity Employer that welcomes applications from all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable laws and Carnegie Robotics' employment policies.
