Mechatronics Engineer

Mechatronics Engineer Opportunity

Motivo is a project-based company delivering excellence in mechanical and electrical system design and prototype builds. We have a history in successfully taking concepts through to actual finished solutions. Our work spans a wide range of market segments including mobility/automotive, aerospace, robotics, and clean energy, to name a few. Every team member will experience a wide variety of challenging projects, offering rich opportunities for professional growth. We are passionate about solving complex engineering challenges, striving for excellence within every unique project constraint, and believe in having fun while we do it!

Motivo is looking for diverse Mechatronics Engineers to join our team as we work on some of the most interesting challenges in a variety of domains.

An engineering role at Motivo means broad ownership and education. There are no "cogs in the machine" here. You'll be responsible for ideation and feature definition, system level design, client and vendor relationships, and hands-on hardware bring-ups. You'll have a seat at the table with CEOs/CTOs and have a voice to contribute to product strategy and viability. We are a premium engineering consultancy and our clients' success depends on you being involved and shaping the big picture.

Qualifications

• Success at Motivo is largely driven by hard-work, creativity, and collaboration. For mechatronics engineers, we expect baseline proficiency and/or professional experience within electrical, mechanical and/or software engineering.
• Within the electrical domain, your skillset may include hardware design (PCB, wire harness, electronic systems), hands-on skills (debugging, bench testing, soldering), and/or firmware development (C/C++, controls, test scripting, version control).
• In mechanical engineering, we want to see capabilities in mechanism design (planning, modeling, verification), hands-on skills (prototyping, fabrication, testing), and/or analysis (static, dynamic, thermal).
• Within software engineering, the best engineers will be able to write maintainable code that allows a system to perceive and interact with its environment (via embedded processor, PLC or computer system), interact with users (frontend development for mobile devices, local computers or web servers), or manage data on the backend (API dev, database management). Modeling and describing physical systems in mathematics and code is particularly useful in many robotics programs.
• In short, a successful mechatronics engineer at Motivo will be able to contribute meaningfully within at least two engineering disciplines. Everyone has a mix of experience, which we value, but we tend to look closely for people that get excited to learn new things and expand their skillset.

Benefits

We're convinced that the team and the projects are hands-down the best part of working at Motivo. To support that, we offer a solid benefits package including high-quality insurance, a 401(k) match, generous vacation time, and our Monday–Thursday 4/10 work week. We offer profit-sharing bonuses, which are tied to overall company performance, because we believe in winning together; we're transparent about the company's numbers, and when our hard work drives financial success, employees may share in the upside.

• Base Salary Range: $80,000 - $100,000
• Salary is dependent on experience, knowledge, and interview performance.
