Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; relevant experience may substitute.

Responsibilities

• Lead design and development of mechanical systems from concept through architecture, CAD design, prototyping, validation, and production release.
• Own subsystem architecture, component strategy, and technical trade-offs balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
• Design and develop mechanical solutions including structural components, mechanisms, drive systems, robotic assemblies, and other electromechanical systems.
• Lead and execute root-cause investigations of design, manufacturing, reliability, and field-performance issues.
• Perform and guide engineering analysis, including FEA, fatigue analysis, tolerance stack-ups, dynamic analysis, vibration assessments, and design verification activities.
• Drive DFM, DFA, DFR, and DFx activities with suppliers and manufacturing partners to ensure scalable and cost-effective production.
• Own prototype builds, engineering validation testing, pilot builds, and production launch activities.
• Partner closely with electrical, firmware, software, controls, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to ensure successful product integration.
• Develop robust mechanical systems capable of operating reliably within demanding robotic and automated warehouse environments.
• Define and execute functional, environmental, vibration, fatigue, wear, and life‑cycle testing to validate product performance and reliability.
