Lead Mechanical Design Engineer - Humanoid Robotics

Engineered Arts; Falmouth; On-site; GBP 65,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Engineered Arts, based in the United Kingdom, seeks a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to design components and subsystems for humanoid robots, taking concepts from prototype to production with emphasis on reliability and manufacturability.

You will work across materials, actuators, kinematic designs and integration with electronics and software, while prototyping and testing to ensure robust, scalable solutions for real-world interaction.

Qualifications

• Strong real-world experience in mechanical design.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical components and subsystems for humanoid robots, including novel and intricate mechanisms, actuation solutions and aesthetic shells and skins
• Take designs through all stages of lifecycle, including concept, prototype, testing, iteration, production and maintenance
• Balance design constraints across aesthetics, performance, durability, availability and manufacturability
• Design for the real word - identify materials and manufacturing processes that balance strength, weight, cost, and scalability to ensure both prototype feasibility and production readiness
• Collaborate with both in-house and external manufacturing teams for prototype and production across technologies including additive manufacturing, CNC machining and various casting and moulding techniques
• Solve problems without limits - no matter whether it’s a tricky new design, a reliability issue in the field or a need for improving our internal design data tooling, you roll up your sleeves and find effective and efficient solutions
• Collaborate closely with our Electronics and Software engineering teams to integrate mechanical systems with sensing, actuation, control, and embedded hardware architectures
• Validate and improve the real-world performance and reliability of designs by designing and implementing relevant testing, supported where necessary by analysis and calculation
• Generate and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including production drawings (GD&T), assembly documentation, tolerance analyses, specifications and bills of materials
• Contribute to product compliance as required, including risk assessments, material safety, functional safety and supporting documentation to meet applicable regulatory and operational safety standards
