Responsibilities:
· Research and integrate new technologies into product designs.
· Collaborate with product designers to create and refine mechanical and mechatronic components.
· Design, set up, and execute lab experiments.
· Collect, process, and analyze experimental data to validate hypotheses and inform design decisions.
· Develop and implement algorithms for kinematics, dynamics, and control.
· Collaborate with mechanical, controls, and systems engineers to perform failure and root cause analyses, then implement design improvements in iterative R&D cycles.
· Participate in the full product lifecycle — from concept and prototyping to validation, and production support.
· Manage schedules and testing milestones, providing progress updates to project managers.
Requirements:
· Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field with a focus on mechanical/hardware systems.
· Proficiency in mechanical design, tolerance analysis, root cause analysis, DFM, and DFA.
· Skilled in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, CATIA, or similar).
· Experience in Design of Experiments (DoE) for mechanical, mechatronic, and control systems.
· Familiarity with C/C++ and MATLAB/Python for data analysis.
· Strong understanding of robot kinematics, dynamics, and control theory.
· Hands-on skills with rapid prototyping tools and techniques, PCB soldering, and circuit debugging.
· Knowledge of system dynamics, vibrations, and linear systems.
· Strong problem-solving, analytical, communication, and documentation skills.
Bonus:
· Experience in robotics system design, integration, and control.
· Experience integrating and calibrating Force Torque sensors, IMU, cameras, or other perception devices.
· Familiarity with robot simulation tools (Gazebo, PyBullet, MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, or similar).
· Knowledge of ROS/ROS2 for robotic system integration.
· Experience in model-based control, impedance/admittance control.
· ARM-based embedded programming experience.
· Exposure to machine learning for robotics.
· Experience working in a Linux development environment.
· Experience with Git and version control workflows for collaborative engineering projects.
