Lead Actuator Design Engineer — Robotic Systems

Dexmate; Fremont (CA); Vor Ort; USD 110.000 - 180.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Dexmate in Fremont, CA seeks a hands-on mechanical or mechatronics engineer to own the actuator architecture for its robot platforms. You will translate requirements into a robust integrated actuator design balancing torque, speed, mass, efficiency and thermal limits, while coordinating across teams.

You will lead prototype builds, drive trade studies, set interfaces, and guide production release with clear criteria and rigorous testing.

Qualifikationen

• Delivered actuator or electro-mechanical drive into production with architecture ownership.
• Strong mechanical/mechatronic design for motors, transmissions, thermal behavior, sensors, and drive limits.
• Ability to quantify system trade-offs using analysis, bench data, and failure investigations.

Aufgaben

• Define actuator requirements from robot loads and duty cycles, including torque, speed, stiffness, life, and thermal limits.
• Lead trade studies across motor topology, transmission ratio, bearings, cooling, sensing and drive constraints.
• Set mechanical, electrical and firmware interfaces, including voltage/current limits and fault responses.
• Lead prototype builds and debugging; own CAD reviews and bench testing decisions.
• Develop characterization plans with motor, drive, controls and test engineers; correlate results to models.
• Drive design reviews, supplier decisions, DFM and production release with clear requirements.
