Design and develop mechanical assemblies including structural frames, drive systems, electromechanical packaging, and supporting hardware components
Create 3D models, detailed drawings, and BOMs using SolidWorks or equivalent CAD tools
Apply DFM/DFA principles to optimize designs for high-volume contract manufacturing and cost-efficient production
Act as the mechanical engineering interface with contract manufacturers, supporting production builds, troubleshooting defects, and resolving quality escapes through RCCA methods as necessary
Present at design reviews, produce engineering changes (ECNs), and documentation updates within PLM/PDM systems
Design and implement assembly jigs, production fixtures, and tooling to improve manufacturing quality, throughput, and repeatability
Support PPAP, FAI, production ramp activities, and travel up to 25% as needed to manufacturing or partner sites
What You’ll Need
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related technical discipline
Minimum of 5 years of mechanical engineering experience, including at least 2 years in robotics, automation, automotive, aerospace, or electromechanical systems
Proficiency with SolidWorks or similar CAD tools, plus experience with PDM/PLM systems
Experience supporting contract manufacturers, including DFM reviews, ECNs, and production issue resolution
Hands-on experience designing jigs, fixtures, tooling, or manufacturing support equipment
Understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and manufacturing methods such as sheet metal, machining, injection molding, and die casting
Excellent cross-functional communication skills with the ability to partner effectively with suppliers, manufacturers, and internal engineering teams
Willing to travel up to 25% (field site visits)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with mobile robots, AGV, AMR, or warehouse automation systems
Familiarity with PPAP, FMEA, and quality systems in high-volume manufacturing environments
Experience with structural or thermal FEA using ANSYS or SolidWorks Simulation
Exposure to field service troubleshooting, sustaining engineering, or post-launch product support
Experience mentoring junior engineers
