What you will do

• Own customer-specific robotic system deployments from requirements and concept through shipment and installation support.
• Translate incomplete customer requirements into engineering plans, identifying missing information, interface risks, and blockers.
• Develop installation-ready system layouts and detailed mechanical designs in Onshape, including assemblies, drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing and installation documentation.
• Drive procurement, vendor coordination, kitting, and production to keep projects complete and on schedule.
• Coordinate mechanical, electrical, controls, facility, and deployment interfaces with Engineering, Product, Sales, Operations, and customers.
• Convert recurring project needs into reusable components, templates, standards, and scalable engineering processes.

Requirements

• Mechanical engineering background or equivalent experience, with strong mechanical intuition and understanding of physical equipment and interfaces.
• Proficiency in CAD-based mechanical design and system layout, preferably Onshape, including assemblies, drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing or installation documentation.
• Experience managing technical projects with multiple dependencies and deadlines across several projects simultaneously.
• Strong organization, extreme attention to detail, and ability to keep procurement, open items, and schedules on track.
• Strong communication skills for explaining technical information to engineers and non-engineers, plus comfort working directly with vendors and supporting procurement.
• Strong spreadsheet and data-organization skills with a pragmatic, process-driven approach.
• Ability to work through ambiguity and pressure while maintaining high standards.
• Demonstrated ownership of projects through physical completion rather than stopping at design release.
