Job description

As a Senior Mechatronics engineer, you will participate in the research, development, and deployment of AI-enabled robot cells for material handling and logistics applications. You will collaborate with Operations, Software, and Machine Learning teams to research, design, integrate, test, and deploy new robotic hardware, including: robot cell designs, end effectors, cameras, lighting, HW control devices (PLCs, I/O couplers, sensors, etc.), pneumatics, actuators, and custom mechanisms.

We value candidates who are passionate about their work, take ownership, are driven to succeed, and appreciate a harmonious work environment.

What you'll be doing

1. Research, design, prototype, and test ML-enabled robotic automation systems.
2. Develop high-level system designs for hardware controls using off-the-shelf devices (I/O couplers, PLCs, sensors, etc.) and create detailed pneumatic and electrical system designs.
3. Collaborate with and manage domestic and offshore integration partners to co-develop and deploy robotic cells.
4. Perform cost-benefit analyses to assess feasibility, costs, and performance of new mechatronic systems.
5. Write technical specifications.
6. Test and characterize electromechanical and optical systems.
7. Support internal teams by troubleshooting electrical and mechanical systems to ensure operational equipment for demos and development.

Experience & Skills You'll Need

• 3+ years of machine design / mechatronics experience in industry.
• Experience with detailed design of pneumatic/electrical systems.
• Experience with cabinet design.
• Experience with hardware system design—specifying, designing, and integrating off-the-shelf controls hardware for cell control logic.
• Experience with 3D printing, sheet metal, CNC, and welding.
• Strong SolidWorks CAD experience, capable of managing complex assemblies.
• Software/Scripting skills (e.g., Python).
• Familiarity with motion control components such as motors, encoders, linear actuators, pneumatics, and sensors.
• Ability to engage with partners and third parties for design, fabrication, assembly, and testing of complex mechatronic systems.
• Comfort with machine tools and in-house fabrication.
• Experience managing multiple projects and priorities.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and organizational skills.
• A strong work ethic and willingness to learn in a small team environment.
• Experience or enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to work from the office 4-5 days a week.
• Willingness to travel (limited).
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S.

Bonus if You Have

• Experience in industrial controls systems, including PLC programming.
• Experience programming articulated industrial robots (Fanuc, Kuka, Yaskawa, etc.).
• Experience with robot simulation software like ROBOGUIDE.
• Experience with robotic End of Arm Tool design.
• Experience with 2D & 3D vision systems (Cognex, Datalogic, Keyence, Sick, etc.).
