** Job Title
** Robotics Mechanical Engineer
** Job Category
** Engineering
* * Job Description
**** Overview
* * Our teams work on great projects within our "hands-on" global engineering development centres.

This role will be based in the EMEA Robotics Technology Centre in Frimley, in the Southeast of England, where we develop robotic solutions for all Hyster-Yale lift truck models.
** Role Summary
** The Robotics Mechanical Engineer I supports the concept, design, development, and release of mechanical hardware solutions for Hyster and Yale robotic vehicle products (e.g., autonomous forklifts and tow tractors). This role works cross-functionally with electrical, controls, software, test, manufacturing, procurement and suppliers to package sensors and computer hardware, design robust mountings/brackets/enclosures, and support validation activities to deliver reliable, and serviceable robotic solutions.
** Key Responsibilities**- Engage with global design teams (software, electrical, controls, and test) to understand solution requirements and develop the Design Validation Plans & Reports (DVP&R's), including durability, environmental, functional safety, and regulatory considerations as applicable.

- Generate innovative solutions that fulfil functional, performance, cost and quality requirements.

- Support the verification and validation testing of new automation solutions, both at component and truck levels, and review test reports to confirm that solutions are fit for purpose.

- Engage with production teams and vendors to optimise designs for manufacture.

- Manage the release of design packages to stakeholders within the business using company processes and procedures.

- Engage with aftermarket and service teams through participation in issue triage, root cause analysis, and corrective action development processes.

- Document work clearly (design rationale, changes, and issues) and communicate effectively across global, cross-functional development and manufacturing teams.

- Hands-on building of prototype mechanical systems and sub-systems.
** Minimum Qualifications**- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, product design or other related engineering discipline.

- Basic CAD skills (modelling, drafting, and layouts) and familiarity with engineering drawing standards and GD&T concepts.

- Ability to communicate effectively in writing and verbally.

- Demonstrated problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
** Desirable Qualifications**- 0-2 years of engineering experience in product development, design, or validation (internship/co-op experience considered).

- Exposure to robotics, autonomous vehicles, mobile/off-highway equipment, or industrial automation (coursework, projects, internships, or personal projects).

- Familiarity with sensors/actuators used in robotic systems (e.g., cameras/LiDAR, encoders, motors, servos, safety scanners) and their mechanical considerations for mounting and protection.

- Basic understanding of electrical/electronic systems and design.

- Basic familiarity with vehicle/industrial communication networks (e.g., CANbus to SAE J1939 or CANopen standards).

- Knowledge of design review tools/processes (e.g., FMEA, risk assessments).

- Experience with Siemens NX and/or Siemens Teamcenter (or comparable CAD/PDM tools).

- Experience working with suppliers and/or manufacturing plants (DFM/DFA, tolerance stack-ups, and cost awareness).
** Working Conditions**- Combination of office, lab, and shop/test environment (working with prototype robotic vehicles).

- Occasional domestic and international travel may be required to suppliers, manufacturing sites, and test locations.

- Hyster-Yale Materials Handling is an equal opportunities employer.

The successful candidate will be subject to background checks.
