Resumo da oferta

Berkshire Grey in Bedford, United Kingdom, is seeking an experienced mechanical engineer to advance the Stride Shuttle Sorter. This hands-on role emphasizes system-level understanding, reliability improvement, and collaboration with controls, electrical, manufacturing, installation, and service teams.

You will own major mechanical projects from definition through release, perform root-cause analysis, document results, and guide design changes that balance performance, cost, and manufacturability.

Qualificações

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in designing, developing and supporting complex mechanical or electro-mechanical products.
• Ability to work autonomously while aligning with a multidisciplinary team.
• Experience taking designs through release and change-control processes, including BOMs and design reviews.
• Proven ability to investigate technical problems and deliver production-ready resolutions.

Responsabilidades

• Own complex mechanical projects from problem definition through design, prototyping, validation and production support.
• Lead investigations into reliability and performance issues using structured root-cause analysis.
• Develop robust solutions addressing underlying causes and assess impact on overall product.
• Create and maintain high-quality engineering documentation and change orders.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, sourcing, quality, controls, electrical, installation, service and product management.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

• We are seeking an experienced mechanical engineer to support the continued development of the Stride Shuttle Sorter


• Stride is an established product, and this role will focus on improving its reliability, strengthening its technical foundation, and adapting the platform for new applications and markets


• This is a hands-on technical role for someone who enjoys understanding how an entire product works, not just an individual component


• You will investigate complex product issues, identify opportunities for improvement, and help the team make sound technical decisions that balance reliability, performance, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and schedule


• Success in this position also requires disciplined execution


• Product improvements are only complete when the supporting analysis, drawings, bills of material, test documentation, and engineering changes are accurate and released


• Depending on experience and demonstrated scope, this position may be filled at the Senior or Principal Engineer level


• Develop a strong system-level understanding of the Stride product, including the mechanical system and its interactions with controls, electrical hardware, manufacturing, installation, and service


• Own complex mechanical projects or major areas of the product from problem definition through design, analysis, prototyping, validation, documentation, release, and production support


• Lead investigations into reliability and performance issues using structured root-cause analysis, testing, field data, and sound engineering judgment


• Identify recurring problems and develop robust solutions that address underlying causes rather than individual symptoms


• Evaluate how proposed changes affect the broader product, including reliability, safety, cost, manufacturability, installation, serviceability, and compatibility with existing systems


• Support the adaptation of the Stride platform for new customers, applications, environments, and market segments while managing product complexity


• Provide technical direction for mechanical projects or subsystem-level work involving other engineers and cross-functional partners


• Create and maintain high-quality engineering documentation, including requirements, calculations, drawings, bills of material, test plans, test reports, design reviews, and engineering change orders


• Work closely with manufacturing, sourcing, quality, controls, electrical engineering, installation, service, and product management


• Communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, decisions, and recommendations clearly to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders


• Review the work of other engineers and help strengthen the team’s technical practices, product knowledge, and documentation quality


• Mentor less-experienced engineers and contribute to a collaborative and accountable engineering culture

Benefits

• Healthcare - Full medical, dental and vision. Life insurance, gym stipends and wellness programs


• Vacation - We value hard work and we like to have fun. Take time when you need it


• Recognition - Peer shout outs, achievement celebrations and leadership awards let you know you’ve made a difference


• Retirement - Stock options and generous 401(k) matching


• Nutrients - Lunch is delivered daily, a plethora of snacks, gourmet coffee, Soylent, and top-shelf beverages
