R&D Senior Robotics Engineer

Overview

Develop the complex electromechanical systems of the next generation robotic platform.

• Apply advanced analytical methodologies including mathematical/numerical modeling and simulations to design, development, and optimization of state-of-the-art mechanical systems.
• Utilize mechanical engineering design principles of capital equipment and mechanisms combined with application of static, dynamic, and kinematic analyses.
• Design and develop mechanical sub-systems including concepts generation, CAD design, analyses, documentation, verification, and Design for Manufacturing & Assembly, and Design for Reliability for current and new products.
• Perform forward and inverse kinematics, finite element analysis of components and assemblies, 3D tolerance analysis, different types of modeling using Simulink, Simscape, or MATLAB programming.
• Participate in hands-on activities including engineering tests and characterizations.
• Post process the corresponding test results using mechanical engineering principles and statistical theories.
• Implement best practices in design methodologies, development processes, and tools.
• Scout new tools and techniques, internalize, and train others.
• Plan, develop, and coordinate different trainings as needed.
• Document the process, design description, test protocols, and test reports.

• PhD in mechanical engineering or mechatronics or closely related fields (preferably with research background in the field of medical device).
• Outstanding academic background with a demonstrated record for high-impact research is required.
• A minimum of 8 years' hands-on product development experience (mechanical-machine design) is required. Experience in medical robotics is highly desired.
• Programming skills and experience using analytical and simulation tools including: MATLAB, Simulink, Simscape, Solid Works CAD modeling, Solid Works SIM, and Solid Works Motion Analysis, CETOL,
• FEA analysis (e.g., ANSYS), Tolerance, and Statistical analysis tools,
• LabVIEW, experience with sensors and DAQ systems.
• Eager to learn new tools and techniques and train others.
• Experience with motion control and applied control theories is highly desired.
• Strong communication and presentation skills required.
