Strong understanding of structures, load paths, shafts, bearings, couplings, fasteners, tolerances, alignment, and vibration.
Experience designing fixtures, test stands, frames, guarding, and precision mechanical interfaces.
Proficiency with CAD and drawing release workflows; NX, SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent experience.
Experience with structural, thermal, fatigue, or modal analysis and applying results to practical hardware decisions.
Hands-on experience with assembly, metrology, alignment, and troubleshooting in a lab or prototype environment.
Familiarity with mechanical safety for rotating equipment, containment, interlocks, and safe operating envelopes.
Ability to work from the US office three days per week; Authorization to work in the country where the job is located.

Responsabilités

Design, build, and own the mechanical side of robotic actuator dynamometer and test infrastructure
Create test stands, couplings, fixtures, load paths, guarding, and serviceable lab hardware
