Mechanical Design Engineer
ROBOTICS
The Role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take ownership of mechanical subsystems for autonomous machines, carrying each from early concept to a functioning prototype. The job mixes design work at the computer with hands-on building and testing in a workshop. You will partner with colleagues across electrical, software and robotics disciplines to bring complete systems together.
What You'll Do
Lead the design of mechanical subsystems from the first sketches through repeated prototype cycles, selecting materials, tolerances and production methods.
Create part and assembly models in CAD, supported by manual calculations and finite element analysis, with an eye to quick turnaround prototyping.
Fabricate your own test hardware in the workshop with additive and subtractive machines and hand tools.
Fit mechanical designs together with drive components, sensing, controls hardware and moving parts.
Work alongside electrical, software and robotics engineers to combine everything into complete systems ready for field use.
What We're Looking For
2 to 5 years of experience in mechanical design.
A record of taking working machines from concept through to functioning hardware, such as mechanisms, joints, drivetrains or grippers.
Experience delivering hardware products within a startup or a small, hands-on team.
BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Proficiency with a mainstream CAD package such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
Practical fabrication skills across 3D printing, CNC work and general workshop equipment.
A strong ownership mindset: you drive subsystems from start to finish without needing direction.
Authorization to work in the US.
Bonus Points
Background in mechatronic systems that combine motors, sensors or actuators.
Familiarity with FEA or topology optimization.
Health insurance
Relocation assistance
