We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Engineer to support the design, development, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing of Tra Xtion's mechanical systems and components.

This role works as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team and collaborates closely with the Product Owner, electrical and embedded engineers, technicians, machinists, and manufacturing partners. The Mechanical Engineer will translate established product requirements into practical mechanical designs and engineering solutions while supporting projects from concept and prototyping through testing and production.

The ideal candidate combines strong mechanical engineering fundamentals with practical, handson experience and is comfortable working across CAD design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and continuous improvement.

• Develop mechanical designs and engineering solutions based on established product requirements and specifications.
• Design structural frames, motion mechanisms, enclosures, supports, and mechanical components.
• Develop mechanical solutions for equipment and systems used in Tra Xtion products.
• Apply principles of mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, hydraulics, heat transfer, and related engineering disciplines as appropriate.
• Evaluate mechanical and electromechanical systems for functionality, durability, safety, manufacturability, and performance.
• Develop design alternatives and engineering solutions to address technical challenges.
• Participate in technical reviews of requirements, specifications, designs, and applicable standards.

• Create and maintain detailed 3D CAD models, parts, assemblies, and fabrication drawings.
• Generate production ready engineering drawings and documentation.
• Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) to support manufacturing, purchasing, testing, and assembly.
• Document design changes, testing results, and engineering activities.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation throughout the design and development process.

• Develop and build prototypes inhouse or in collaboration with outside vendors.
• Use methods such as 3D printing, machining, and handson assembly to support prototyping and development.
• Develop testing and validation methods for mechanical components and systems.
• Conduct mechanical testing, including load, stability, vibration, and functional testing as applicable.
• Analyze test results and make design recommendations based on findings.
• Evaluate system and component capabilities through feasibility studies, testing, and engineering analysis.
• Modify and refine designs based on testing and validation results.

• Design and modify components and equipment to support fabrication, assembly, and installation.
• Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to engineering designs.
• Work closely with technicians, machinists, manufacturing teams, and external vendors to produce components and assemblies.
• Support material selection, component sourcing, purchasing, and vendor coordination as needed.
• Provide technical engineering support for production, assembly, product development, and process improvement.
• Troubleshoot mechanical and manufacturing issues and recommend appropriate solutions.
• Support the transition of designs from prototype to production.

• Collaborate with the Product Owner to understand and clarify product requirements and technical needs.
• Partner with electrical and embedded engineering teams to support mechanical and electromechanical system integration.
• Work with engineers, technicians, machinists, and other team members to develop and refine engineering…
