Mechatronics Engineers

Berkshire Grey•Bedford, MA

3h•$120,000 - $135,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Mechatronics Engineer will work directly as a member of a new product development team, applying their expertise to deliver a novel, integrated system to solve immediate customer challenges. Responsibilities include: Problem solve on a cross-disciplinary product team to advance designs from conceptualization to customer acceptance. Work independently on pieces of systems, or with other engineering disciplines to ensure a cohesive system design. Design practical solutions both quickly and carefully, independently preempting issues of manufacturability and future maintenance. Conduct hands-on prototyping, utilizing shop tools and equipment to quickly iterate ideas and solutions. Perform test, verification, and troubleshooting of prototype and production systems. Design and execute tests to disambiguate between candidate solutions, find the best approach, and convince the team of your conclusion. Perform system design analyses, including reliability, design-for-manufacture, design-for assembly, cost-takeout, etc. Develop production and support documentation including bills of material (BOMs), assembly drawings, and maintenance instructions. Transform tested conceptual solutions into robust product designs in coordination with engineering operations, the customer and contract manufacturers. Travel to suppliers and customers as necessary to support build and installation of system. Telecommuting is an option as long as the employee is based in the Bedford, MA region as the employee must report to the company offices in Bedford, MA at least three days per week.
