• Develop robust mechanical architectures and production-ready designs

• Create and maintain CAD models, technical drawings, product structures, and bills of materials

• Perform structural, stability, durability, and tolerance analyses

• Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) throughout the product development process

• Define and maintain engineering design standards and documentation quality

• Coordinate development activities across mechanical, electronics, software, manufacturing, and sourcing teams

• Support prototype builds, testing, validation, and product industrialization

• Manage engineering changes, revisions, and configuration control processes

• Contribute to technical decision-making, risk assessments, and design reviews

What we can look forward to

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a comparable field

• 10+ years of experience in mechanical product development

• Experience developing complex electromechanical systems

• Strong expertise in mechanical design, structural analysis, and engineering documentation

• Solid understanding of manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, castings, injection molding, and assembly processes

• Proficiency in SolidWorks; experience with SolidWorks PDM is highly desirable

• Familiarity with DFM/DFA methodologies

• Experience working in robotics, automation, medical devices, automotive, aerospace, or similar industries

Nice to Have

• Experience with mobile robotic or service robotic systems

• Knowledge of Creo/Windchill

• Prior technical leadership or project ownership experience
