Job Purpose
This position will support Robotics Innovation activities with specific focus on robotic mechanical systems.
The primary goal of the Robotics Mechanical Engineer, is to lead and execute the mechanical design of the robotic systems, being responsible for designing, developing, and implementing mechanical solutions for robotic systems (e.g. robotic arm, end-effector, gripper, machine design), collaborating with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and specifications, holding design reviews, definition and evaluation of component and system costs versus achieved functionality.
Willingness to travel to gain product and functional experience and assist in the evaluation of the robotic systems in the field. Accountable to maintain project log on assigned tasks and work with team through development and implementation phases to meet timing.
Communicate with the engineering teams in the company to gather inputs and maintain alignment on activity resultsto coordinate the interrelated design and assure project completion following established design process. The individual in this position must be able to develop, maintain, and release necessary system specifications and documentation.
Key Responsibilities
Design robotic manipulators, end effectors, and automation equipment using 3D CAD
Own the mechanical architecture of a robotic arm, including joints, linkages, and structural components
Develop and use MATLAB models to evaluate kinematics, dynamics, and actuator requirements
Select and integrate actuators, transmissions, and sensors into mechanical designs
Build prototypes and develop test fixtures to evaluate performance, lifecycle, and reliability
Perform or facilitate installation/testing related to the product, system, or process.
Design for durability and operation in outdoor, agricultural environments
Collaborate closely with controls, electronics, and software teams to ensure seamless system integration
Guide interns from university for those activities related to the projects and new investigations where the candidate is directly involved
Review and understand technologies and trends that will influence medium term and long term product plans
Work closely to simulation teams in building &validation of different simulation models on the new systems developed
Update the related management tools (TcAE, kpi-tool, CTS…)
Create and update documentation for designs, and all phases of the project.
Work with external customers, distributors, vendors, or suppliers to initiate new designs and solve problems.
Coordinate engineering efforts and provide engineering assistance to internal teams or external customers.
Experience Required

Hands‑on experience with prototyping, testing, and iteration of physical hardware
Ability to translate system‑level requirements into robust mechanical design
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with pneumatic systems design and validation
Experience designing automation or robotics for agricultural or outdoor environments
Experience with gripper, end‑effector, or compliant mechanism design
Familiarity with designing for manufacturability and field serviceability
Experience with off road machinery requirements and operations is a plus
Excellent verbal and written communication skills required
Ability to work independently and in a team environment required with an open mindset
Ability to provide local and remote field site support/analysis for own project and help others
Agricultural background
