Lead Actuator Systems Engineer for Robotic Platforms

Dexmate Inc.; Fremont (CA); In loco; USD 120.000 - 160.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Dexmate Inc. is seeking a hands-on mechanical or mechatronics engineer to own the architecture of integrated actuators for Dexmate robots.

You will translate robot requirements into an actuator design balancing torque, speed, mass, efficiency, backdrivability and thermal capacity. You will lead prototype builds, conduct design trades across motor topology, cooling and sensing, and ensure production release with clear requirements and acceptance criteria.

Competenze

• Delivered an integrated actuator or electromechanical drive into production with ownership of architecture.
• Strong depth in mechanical or mechatronic design; knowledge of motors, transmissions, thermal behavior, sensors and drive limits.
• Ability to quantify system trade-offs using analysis and bench data.
• Hands-on prototyping, validation, supplier collaboration and manufacturing release leadership.

Mansioni

• Define actuator requirements from loads and duty cycles, including peak and continuous torque, speed, stiffness, life, packaging and thermal limits.
• Own trade studies across motor topology, transmission ratio, bearings, cooling, sensing and drive constraints; use measured performance to resolve competing requirements.
• Set mechanical, electrical and firmware interfaces, including voltage and current limits, sensor placement, allowable temperatures and fault responses.
• Lead prototype builds and hands-on debugging. Maintain direct ownership of CAD and analysis reviews, bench debugging and technical decisions.
• Develop characterization plans with motor, drive, controls and test engineers; correlate torque-speed, efficiency, thermal, friction and backdrivability results to models.
• Drive design reviews, supplier decisions, DFM and corrective actions through production release, with clear requirements and acceptance criteria.
