Mechanical Design Engineer

Join our Lab Infrastructure team as a Mechanical Design Engineer, where you will design and build robotic automation systems. You will be involved in the entire project lifecycle, from initial concept to implementation, and will collaborate closely with research groups and industry partners.

Responsibilities

• Your core responsibilities will include translating project requirements into detailed designs, creating efficient and scalable automation solutions, performing structural analysis, and reviewing designs.
• You will also establish a standard for mechanical hardware and component selection, and document and communicate your work clearly for internal and external stakeholders.
• Design and build robotic automation systems, focusing on custom End-of-Arm Tooling and intelligent automation.
• Translate project requirements into detailed designs, create efficient and scalable automation solutions, and perform structural analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to provide cost-effective, high-quality solutions aligned with internal requirements.
• Proactive approach to working in ambiguous situations, making decisions and driving solutions
• Excellent collaboration skills with cross-functional teams, external integrators and customers
• Hands-on design expertise in custom End of Arm tooling development and implementing robotic automation systems
• Willingness to travel domestically and/or internationally to support deployments and partner integration

Requirements

• Excellent knowledge of design principles, Design for Manufacturing/ Assembly (DFM/DFA) and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerances (GD&T)
• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field with 2 to 4 years of professional experience
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, preferably Autodesk Inventor with PDM/ PLM system and AutoCAD
• Analyze complex engineering challenges independently while maintaining well-focused attention to detail
• Adapt quickly and multi-task effectively in a fast-paced, changing environment
• Experience with vendor management and procurement
• Professional working experience with rapid hardware prototyping
• Extensive experience designing complex robotic workcells, integrating logistic systems (conveyors or AGV), and designing safety technology, combined with an expert understanding of structural analysis, preferably in the electronic manufacturing industry
