Robotics Mechanical Engineer
About The Position
We are seeking a strong, talented, self-motivated Mechanical Engineer to join our team in creating world class robotic systems for use in military, law enforcement, and first responder missions. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will have responsibility for the mechanical architecture of parts and assemblies used in robotics applications. Leveraging your experience in the design of complex electromechanical systems, you will contribute to the development of sophisticated and innovative new products for the unmanned defense and security marketplace. Traversing difficult terrain, manipulating explosives, and autonomously navigating unexplored territory are all in a day’s work for our suite of robots. The Unmanned Ground Systems Team develops the solutions that make this possible. You will provide mechanical engineering support to design teams engaged in the development and manufacture of robotic systems. Through application of skills in 3D CAD design you will complete mechanical layouts and detailed part design. You will develop product system test methods, including setting up, conducting, analyzing and clearly documenting results of prototype and product testing. You will utilize analytical tools to select optimal architecture and verify that subsystems meet design intent. Finally, you will support methodical root cause analysis and rapid resolution of design and development issues.
Requirements

- Well versed in rapid prototyping methods
- Experience with Product Lifecycle Management tools (PTC Windchill 10.1 or newer)
- Small mechanism design, especially gears, bearings, wheels, linkages, etc.
- Kinematics & dynamics analysis methods.
- Structural design, stress & fatigue analysis with Creo Simulate or ANSYS.
Responsibilities
- Apply technical knowledge and skills in mechanical systems to the analysis, development, design, integration, testing, and production of unmanned ground systems.
- Investigate and resolve mechanical issues found within our systems.
- Apply formal mechanical engineering best practices and processes.
- Support the continuous improvement of existing products.
- Specify materials to be chemically compatible with the appropriate environment.
- Research new technologies to solve unique engineering problems.
- Work with cross functional teams comprising the disciplines of electrical, software, systems, manufacturing, and operations.
Benefits
- The anticipated salary range listed for this role is only an estimate. Actual compensation for successful candidates is carefully determined based on several factors including, but not limited to, location, local regulations (such as minimum wage), education/training, work experience, key skills, and type of position.
