Mechatronics Engineer

Company Description

Vebu is transforming the food industry with innovative products to help customers to mitigate challenges associated with labor shortages, rising operational costs, and resilience against unforeseen challenges. With a team of enthusiastic problem solvers and expertise spanning engineering, robotics, and artificial intelligence, we are focused on building automation technology solutions that help humans do more.

The Mechatronics Engineer will focus on the design, engineering, prototype building, testing, and troubleshooting of electromechanical systems. The ideal candidate is a self-starter, manages time well, is accountable, and can work both collaboratively and autonomously with minimum supervision.

• Systems Conceptualization, Design & Integration: Design, build, and test mechatronics-based systems, bringing concepts to life from initial design through prototyping and production planning. Fab shop experience like building wiring harnesses, metal working machinery is a plus.
• Documentation & Compliance: Create detailed design specifications, engineering reports, and ensure all mechatronic systems comply with industry safety and quality standards.
• Engineering Analysis: Conducting necessary engineering calculations, simulations (such as FEA, Tolerance Stack analysis, Reliability modeling) to validate the integrity, performance, and manufacturability of the proposed designs.
• Testing and Validation: build test fixtures and rigs—often using Raspberry Pi and Arduino—and instrument systems for data collection Ability to use instruments like oscilloscopes, configure microcontrollers, developing test scripts in C++, Python.
• Manufacturing Support & Handoff: Leverage Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to prepare comprehensive production release packages, including detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) and technical drawings.

• Bachelor’s with 5 years of experience or Master’s degree with 3 years of experience in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
• Prior experience in a hands‑On product development team, preferably in Start‑Ups.
• Proficiency in CAD software particularly Solid Works, and in GD&T.
• Experience and strong knowledge of actuator hardware, kinematic systems including motors, gears, vibration systems. Experience with hydraulic and pneumatic systems is advantageous.
• Comfort with basic scripting using C++ and Python. Familiarity with networking protocols such as Modbus / Profibus. Experience with ROS2 or other robotics middleware frameworks and simulators like Isaac Sim / Gazebo are a plus.

Physical requirements and work environment expectations vary by position. Generally, roles at Serve Kitchen Robotics may involve moderate noise, occasional exposure to outdoor weather conditions, and, depending on the role, work around airborne particles and electrical components. Physical activities may include standing, walking, sitting, kneeling, crouching, or crawling, as well as the use of hands, arms, and voice communication. Some roles may require lifting and/or moving up to 50 pounds.

Vision requirements may include close vision, distance vision, and the ability to adjust focus.

The compensation for this role is $105,000 - $130,000/year.
