R&D Electromechanical Engineer Crafting Platforms and Systems

We are a small, agile, R&D-driven, and mission-oriented company—working at the interface of engineering, biology and micro/nano-systems. We design and build real-world electromechanical systems where mechanical design, custom electronics, and embedded firmware are tightly integrated. If you thrive in a hands-on environment where you move quickly from concept to prototype to system, you will feel at home here.

As a R&D Electromechanical Engineer
, you’ll work end-to-end—from CAD and mechanism design to hardware bring-up and firmware integration. This role is ideal for engineers who identify primarily as mechanical engineers but are confident in designing electronics and writing firmware to make hardware move. You will be expected to execute independently and contribute to the progression of technologies toward commercialization.

• Lead the design of electromechanical systems, subsystems and assemblies for smart automated platforms
• Create detailed CAD models and drawings using Solid Works or similar CAD tools
• Design structures, mechanisms, enclosures, mounts, and drivetrain components
• Perform mechanical analysis (loads, tolerances, materials, thermal considerations)
• Select motors, gearboxes, bearings, fasteners, and structural materials
• Ensure robust mechanical–electrical integration (mounting, cable routing, thermal paths)
• Design PCB schematics and layouts for motor control, sensing, actuation, and power electronics
• Select electronic and mechanical components and manage BOMs
• Support hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation
• Develop and maintain embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems
• Implement and debug firmware drivers (GPIO, ADC, PWM, SPI, I²C, UART, CAN)
• Support sensor integration, motor control interfaces, and safety features
• Rapidly prototype using 3D printing, machining, soldering, and lab testing
• Support design for manufacturing, assembly, and scaling (DFM/DFA)
• Contribute to system-level testing, validation, and iteration
• Troubleshoot prototypes, perform testing, analyze results, document findings, revise designs and scale toward manufacture.
• Develop and manage fast‑paced project timelines while proactively identifying and mitigating risks, and Work closely with cross‑functional teams
• Maintain strong documentation of process flows, design history files, risk assessments, prototypes, and results—supporting potential regulatory or commercialization pathways.
• Effectively communicate results and technical insights to clients and stakeholders through both written reports and oral presentations.
• Contribute to IP generation, technical reports, grant proposals and internal project milestones.
• Stay current on scientific literature, and emerging technologies and incorporate them as needed.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Robotics, or related field
• 3–6 years of experience in complex electromechanical products
• Strong mechanical design experience using Solid Works or similar CAD software
• Demonstrated hands‑on PCB design experience (schematic capture and layout (Altium, KiCad))
• Practical embedded firmware experience
• Solid understanding of motors, sensors, and electromechanical system integration
• Deep hands‑on skills in:
• Electromechnical system integration
• Embedded systems (microcontrollers, real‑time programming, hardware/software co-design)
• Programming (Python, C/C++, ROS)
• Lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.)
• Detail‑oriented, systems‑focused, and passionate about delivering high impact through innovation
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving and documentation skills; able to…
