Mechanical Engineer – Robotics
**Role Summary**
Lead the mechanical design lifecycle of automation and robotic systems, transforming post‑sale requirements into detailed CAD models, prototypes, and production‑ready documentation. Provide technical guidance, manage change, and ensure seamless handover to execution teams while driving cost efficiencies and risk mitigation.
**Expectations**
- Deliver comprehensive mechanical designs, drawings, BOMs, and wiring diagrams.
- Oversee prototype development and validation.
- Provide on‑site technical support and troubleshoot during project execution.
- Manage design changes, maintain version control, and ensure documentation accuracy.
- Conduct training and knowledge transfer sessions for operators and maintenance staff.
- Identify and document cost‑saving opportunities and risk mitigation strategies.
**Key Responsibilities**
1. **Design Development** – Create detailed CAD models, engineering drawings, and specifications for robotic systems.
2. **Prototype & Validation** – Design, build, and test prototypes to verify functionality before full‑scale production.
3. **Technical Support** – Offer ongoing assistance to execution teams, resolving mechanical issues and ensuring correct implementation.
4. **Change Management** – Review, approve, and document design changes during execution, preserving project objectives.
5. **Feedback & Continuous Improvement** – Gather input from teams and clients to refine designs and processes.
6. **Procurement Coordination** – Supply accurate technical data to procurement for efficient sourcing of components.
7. **Documentation** – Develop wiring diagrams, BOMs, test plans, quick reference guides, and maintain version control.
8. **Knowledge Transfer** – Conduct briefings and training on installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
9. **Risk & Cost Analysis** – Highlight risks early, recommend mitigations, and document potential cost‑saving measures.
**Required Skills**
- Proficient CAD modeling (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
- Experience with automation and robotics system design, integration, and commissioning.
- Expertise in BOM creation, wiring schematics, and version control.
- Strong documentation skills (drawings, specifications, test plans).
- Ability to troubleshoot mechanical and system‑level issues.
- Self‑driven, autonomous project ownership with minimal supervision.
- Excellent communication and training abilities.
- Capacity to work in fast‑paced, shifting‑priority environments.
**Required Education & Certifications**
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
- 3–5 years of professional experience in mechanical system design, development, and deployment.
- Certifications: professional engineering licensure or equivalent preferred but not required.
