Position Overview
We are looking for Mechanical Design Engineers to create and fabricate robotic systems for teleoperation, human-robot interaction and data collection. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing electro-mechanical hardware systems that include haptic devices, exoskeletons, and others. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our products achieve the highest standards of performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Design, prototype, and test hardware systems for human-robot interaction
- Create detailed CAD models and drawings for jigs, fixtures, and tools using CAD software for mechanical components.
- Utilize 3D printing and rapid prototyping techniques to develop and test hardware prototypes.
- Collaborate with software engineers, mechanical engineers, and other team members to integrate hardware with software and mechanical designs.
- Conduct tests and simulations to ensure the functionality and reliability of hardware systems.
- Troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues and provide technical support during the product development lifecycle.
- Prepare documentation for hardware designs, specifications, and test procedures.
Preferred Qualifications
- BS, MS or higher degree in Mechanical engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Proven experience in hardware design and prototyping, including both electrical and mechanical components.
- Proficiency in CAD software for mechanical design (Solidworks, Onshape, or other).
- Experience with Arduino or similar platforms for electronic prototyping and control systems.
- Familiarity with 3D printing and rapid prototyping techniques.
- Strong understanding of electronic components, circuit design, and signal processing.
- Experience with testing and debugging hardware systems.
Bonus qualifications:
- Experience with robotics, teleoperation, or digital twin systems
- Experience with human-centered considerations for robot design
- Experience with actuator and sensor design for high performance haptic devices
- Experience working with high-speed control systems, including low-level firmware
