Overview
You will design, build, test/debug, and deploy a string automation machine for our toy factory production line. This project includes a combination of pneumatics, electronics, and mechanical systems that make more of our ZipString products with higher consistency and less human operators.
Responsibilities
You will be responsible for design, build, and test of the machine but not deployment:
- Conduct whiteboarding/brainstorming sessions to discuss possible solutions and architecture for machines and fixtures. Understand project requirements and identify root problems
- Research off-the-shelf solutions and methods that are similar and provide design inspiration
- Outsource machined parts from suppliers like JLCCNC, and/or machine custom parts for the assemblies.
- Source components from vendors like JLCMC and McMaster
- Build prototypes and subsystems of machines with validation of each subprocess
- Perform integrations of subsystems, connecting them together for the overall production process.
- Design the state machine logic, control flow, and program electronics with very basic human machine interfaces/controls
- Debug the machines here in person in Atlanta
- Prepare schematics, drawings, 3D data, and code documentation to help support production staff and deployment overseas. This includes the calibration/adjustments, care, and maintenance of the machines.
Skills
- Strong mechanical and electronics knowledge related to manufacturing equipment, tooling, and machining processes.
- Basic control panel design with consideration for human factors
- Experience with sensors of various types, and handling data
- Solid understanding of electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic schematic design
- 3D modeling with movement simulation
- Strong troubleshooting skills for electromechanical systems
