About the Role
You will engineer humanoid robot subsystems and auxiliary systems using SolidWorks. You will integrate motors, transmissions, controllers, and pneumatic systems; create CAD assemblies, bills of materials, and manufacturing drawings; source components and suppliers; inspect parts; assemble designs; document builds; troubleshoot robot failures; perform root-cause analysis; and implement hardware, software, or operating-procedure fixes.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field
- 5 years of progressive experience as a Mechanical Engineer or in a related occupation
- At least 1 year of experience designing and deploying multiple-degrees-of-freedom motorized robotics or automation equipment
- At least 1 year of experience integrating PCBAs, electrical wire harnesses, and thermal management of power electronics into mechanical systems
- At least 1 year of experience with classical mechanics, mechanics of materials, DFM, DFA, and DFS
- At least 1 year of experience documenting calculations and build instructions using spreadsheets and slide decks
- At least 1 year of experience with 3D CAD modeling, GD&T engineering drawings, and ANSI compliance
- At least 1 year of experience using PDM to maintain 3D models, drawings, and metadata
- At least 1 year of experience using machine-shop tools
- At least 1 year of experience with metrology tools and CNC touch probes
Responsibilities
- Engineer humanoid robot subsystems and auxiliary systems using SolidWorks
- Make design decisions around power electronics, structures, bearings, kinematics, lifecycle, cost, assemblability, and manufacturability
- Integrate electric motors, transmissions, motor controllers, and pneumatic systems into robot joints
- Run engineering analyses and document work in spreadsheets and slide decks
- Review designs with software, mechanical, and electrical engineers
- Review and provide feedback on mechanical-engineering designs and documentation
- Design machined metal parts, weldments, sheet metal, extrusions, injection-molded parts, 3D-printed parts, and castings
- Create detailed CAD assemblies and bills of materials
- Source off-the-shelf components and suppliers
- Create dimensioned engineering drawings using GD&T practices
- Design manufacturing fixtures and gauges
- Inspect, measure, and perform quality-control checks on received parts
- Assemble initial designs and write build documentation for technicians
- Troubleshoot robot failures in the lab and field
- Perform root-cause analysis and design fixes in hardware, software, or operating procedure
- Operate the robot and improve its interface
