Job description

About your role

Mechanical Design

• Design standardized 6-axis robotic cells, including positioners, linear rails, tool changers, sensors, guarding/enclosures, pedestals, safety devices, and cable management.
• Develop mechanical components such as tool brackets, jigs, and fixtures for internal and customer projects.
• Perform the required mechanical calculations to ensure design is robust for full production runs
• Perform reach, payload, and interference studies to optimize robot positioning and cycle performance for standard cells and custom projects
• Maintain standardized designs compatible with multiple robot brands (ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, Kawasaki, UR, etc.).

Product Development & Validation

• Create modular design architectures that allow mix-and-match modules for different applications.
• Produce full mechanical design packages (3D assemblies, drawings, BOMs, manufacturing documents).
• Apply design standards to improve repeatability, cost efficiency, and scalability across product families.
• Support prototype builds, validate alignment and tolerances, and refine designs based on testing and field feedback.
• Ensure safety compliance (RIA, ISO 10218, ANSI) through proper guarding, interlocks, and risk mitigation.

Collaboration & Support

• Work with Go-To-Market and Operations teams on design requirements, outsourcing, and hardware procurement.
• Provide technical input for marketing, sales, customer layouts, installation guides, and product documentation.
• Participate in design reviews and collaborate across teams throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

• Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, or related discipline.
• 3 to 7 years of mechanical design experience with proven track record, preferably on industrial robots or automated systems.
• Proficiency in reach studies, robot positioning, and mechanical integration of 6-axis robots.
• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Fusion360, Inventor, or equivalent).
• Hands-on understanding of manufacturing (sheet metal, welding, machining, assembly).
• Experience designing guarding, frames, pedestals, or fixtures for robotic applications.

Good to Have

• Experience developing standardized robotic platforms or repeatable product lines.
• Knowledge of EOAT design and integration principles.
• Familiarity with industrial robot arm operations
• Understanding of electrical and pneumatic routing within robotic cells.
• Experience working in a product development or OEM environment.
• Independent and able to work with minimal supervision
