About The Position

Automated Tire (ATI) is developing robotic systems to automate tire changing and wheel balancing. The Principal Staff Mechanical Engineer will contribute to multidisciplinary industrial robotic products, designing, fabricating, assembling, documenting, and testing mechatronic systems that include multi-axis actuation. The role calls for expertise in system dynamics, modeling, and vibration analysis. The engineer will work on a small team developing a novel robotics and automation solution. The role offers substantial autonomy in a fast-paced startup environment where requirements may shift and decisions may need to be made with limited information.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or equivalent.
5–8 years of applicable professional experience in the robotics or automation industry.
Demonstrated experience designing electro-mechanical systems from concept through product release and shipment at scale; industrial product experience preferred.
Expertise in design and specification of electro-mechanical actuators, motors, and sensing technologies such as encoders, load cells, and proximity sensors.
Expertise in system dynamics, simulation, modeling, and vibration analysis.
Experience running finite element analysis.
Proficiency with SolidWorks and preparing engineering documentation per ASME Y14.5 for production release.
Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
Comfort working autonomously in a fast-paced environment with shifting requirements and limited information.
