What you will do

• Lead mechanical and electromechanical system development from concept, architecture, CAD design, and prototyping through validation and production release.
• Own subsystem architecture, component strategy, and trade-offs across performance, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost.
• Design structural components, mechanisms, drive systems, robotic assemblies, and other electromechanical systems.
• Lead root-cause investigations and engineering analysis, including FEA, fatigue, tolerance stack-ups, dynamics, vibration, and design verification.
• Drive DFM, DFA, DFR, DFC, and other DFx activities with suppliers and manufacturing partners.
• Own prototype builds, validation testing, pilot builds, production launches, supplier development, and continuous product improvement while collaborating with electrical, firmware, software, controls, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams.

Requirements

• 9+ years of experience in mechanical engineering and product development of complex mechanical or electromechanical systems.
• Experience leading products from concept through validation, production launch, and sustaining engineering.
• Strong proficiency with 3D CAD, FEA, FMEA, PLM systems, and engineering documentation.
• Experience designing mechanisms and electromechanical systems with motors, gear trains, bearings, belt drives, actuators, sensors, and power transmission components.
• Strong understanding of system dynamics, kinematics, fatigue, wear, vibration, and reliability engineering; experience with structural, modal, and dynamic analysis.
