Job Description

full-time
Our client, a world-leading developer of advanced robotic systems and automated machinery, is seeking a Principal Mechanical Design Engineer with a specialization in Mechatronics to join their elite, fully remote engineering team. This senior role is critical to conceptualizing, designing, and developing complex mechanical systems that integrate electronics, control systems, and software. You will lead the mechanical design aspects of new product development, driving innovation from concept through to production. The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of mechanical principles, kinematics, dynamics, materials science, and a strong appreciation for the interplay between mechanical and electronic components.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the mechanical design and development of sophisticated mechatronic systems, including robotic arms, actuators, precision mechanisms, and automated production equipment.
  • Utilize advanced CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD) for 3D modeling, assembly design, and drafting of complex mechanical components and systems.
  • Perform advanced engineering analyses, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to validate designs and optimize performance.
  • Collaborate closely with electrical engineers, software engineers, and control systems specialists to ensure seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, and software components.
  • Develop detailed technical specifications, design documents, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
  • Oversee prototyping, testing, and validation of mechanical designs, iterating based on results.
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant industry standards, safety regulations, and performance requirements.
  • Identify and evaluate new materials, manufacturing processes, and technologies to enhance product design and efficiency.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex mechanical and mechatronic issues during development and in fielded products.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior mechanical engineers.
  • Contribute to the long-term mechanical architecture and technology roadmap.

Qualifications:
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in mechanical design engineering, with a strong emphasis on mechatronic systems and robotics.
  • Extensive experience with advanced CAD software and simulation tools (FEA, CFD).
  • Proven expertise in kinematics, dynamics, mechanism design, material selection, and manufacturing processes (machining, injection molding, 3D printing).
  • Solid understanding of control systems, electronic components, sensors, and actuators as they relate to mechanical design.
  • Experience with power transmission systems, bearings, seals, and structural analysis.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills.
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to lead complex design initiatives.
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, essential for a remote, cross-functional team environment.
  • Experience with scripting for automation (e.g., Python) and familiarity with embedded systems is a significant advantage.
  • Demonstrated ability to innovate and bring novel solutions from concept to reality.

This is a premier fully remote opportunity for a visionary engineer to shape the future of advanced automation. Join a team pushing the boundaries of mechanical and mechatronic innovation.
