Job summary

Simplexity is seeking a hands-on senior mechanical engineer to work embedded with a Seattle-area client on a cutting-edge robotics product. You will own mechanical subsystems from requirements through working hardware, validation, and release-quality documentation.

This role is an individual contributor position focused on design, analysis, testing, and interface coordination across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines. On-site work at the client site in the Seattle area is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or related engineering discipline.
• 8+ years of applicable product-development experience with subsystem ownership.
• Owned at least one robotics or complex electromechanical subsystem end-to-end.

Responsibilities

• Convert system requirements into mechanical subsystem requirements, architecture, interfaces, and trade studies.
• Size and select motors, gearboxes, encoders, bearings, and related drivetrain components.
• Perform torque-speed, inertia, and thermal analyses as appropriate to the design.
• Design linkages, gear trains, belts, pulleys, and other moving mechanisms with kinematic/dynamic analysis.
• Package sensors, wiring, PCBs, and related electronics within constrained mechanical envelopes.
• Create, manage, and release SolidWorks assemblies with BOMs and ASME Y14.5 drawings.
