Job Type
Full-time
Description
The Role: We are seeking an experienced Electro-Mechanical Engineer to assist in the design and development of an autonomous robotic cabinet system. This role requires a hands-on engineer who is equally comfortable with mechanical design, motion systems, electrical integration, and prototype development.
The ideal candidate will help develop reliable, manufacturable hardware by selecting and integrating motors, actuators, sensors, and supporting electrical components while working closely with our internal engineering team.
Responsibilities: - Design and develop electro-mechanical systems for a robotic cabinet platform.
- Select and integrate motors, gearboxes, actuators, bearings, linear guides, and motion transmission components.
- Evaluate and specify sensors including limit switches, Hall sensors, optical sensors, encoders, proximity sensors, and safety interlocks.
- Ensure compatibility between motors, sensors, drivers, power supplies, and embedded control electronics.
- Work closely with PCB and firmware engineers to ensure proper electrical interfaces and control strategies.
- Develop mechanical assemblies using CAD (Creo preferred) with emphasis on manufacturability and serviceability.
- Design brackets, mounts, linkages, sheet metal, machined components, and injection molded parts as required.
- Build and test prototypes, troubleshoot hardware issues, and iterate designs based on testing.
- Generate engineering documentation including drawings, BOMs, assembly procedures, and design specifications.
- Collaborate with contract manufacturers and suppliers to support prototype and production builds.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with IoT-connected products or smart hardware devices.
- Familiarity with embedded controllers such as STM32, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or similar platforms.
- Experience integrating CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, RS485, or Ethernet-based devices.
- Knowledge of thermal management, environmental sealing, and outdoor product design.
- Familiarity with DFMEA, tolerance analysis, and reliability testing.
- Experience bringing products from prototype through production.
Requirements
- 5+ years of electro-mechanical engineering experience, preferably in robotics, automation, industrial equipment, or autonomous systems.
- Strong CAD proficiency (Creo preferred) and experience designing for manufacturability.
- Solid understanding of motion control systems including stepper motors, servo motors, BLDC motors, gear reduction, lead screws, belts, chains, and linear actuators.
- Experience selecting motors based on torque, speed, duty cycle, and load calculations.
- Understanding of electrical fundamentals including voltage, current, power budgets, driver compatibility, power distribution, grounding, EMI considerations, and connector selection.
- Experience integrating sensors, encoders, limit switches, and other feedback devices into embedded systems.
- Ability to read electrical schematics and collaborate with PCB and firmware engineers.
- Experience working with contract manufacturers and external design partners.
- Comfortable moving between CAD design, hands-on prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation.
- Experience working in fast-paced, iterative product development environments with evolving requirements.
We are looking for a practical engineer who enjoys solving multidisciplinary problems and can bridge the gap between mechanical design and electrical system integration to create robust robotic hardware.
At this time, we are not able to provide visa sponsorship for this position.
