Senior Mechanical Systems Engineer; Remote

Our client, a pioneer in advanced robotics and automation solutions, is seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Systems Engineer to join their fully remote engineering team. This critical role involves the design, development, and integration of sophisticated mechanical systems for cutting-edge robotic platforms and automation machinery. You will be at the forefront of innovation, working on complex challenges that require a deep understanding of mechanical design, kinematics, dynamics, and control systems.

The ideal candidate is a highly motivated and self-directed engineer who thrives in a collaborative, virtual environment, possessing exceptional problem-solving abilities and a passion for pushing the boundaries of engineering. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking projects from your home office and grow within a rapidly expanding technology firm.

Design and develop complex mechanical systems for robotic platforms, including end-effectors, chassis, and actuation mechanisms. Utilize advanced CAD software (e.g., "Solid Works, CATIA") for detailed modeling, assembly design, and creating manufacturing drawings. Perform advanced engineering analyses, including FEA for stress and strain, and dynamic simulations for motion control. Integrate mechanical systems with electrical and software components, ensuring seamless functionality. Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams (software, electrical, control systems) in a remote setting.

Oversee the prototyping, testing, and validation of mechanical designs, ensuring performance and reliability targets are met. Develop and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including design specifications, BOMs, and test reports. Troubleshoot and resolve complex mechanical issues throughout the product development lifecycle. Contribute to the overall system architecture and design strategy for new robotic products. Stay updated on the latest advancements in robotics, automation, and mechanical engineering technologies.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in mechanical design and systems engineering, with a focus on robotics or automation. Expertise in 3D CAD software and PDM/PLM systems. Strong theoretical and practical knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, and control systems. Proficiency in performing stress analysis (FEA) and dynamic simulations. Demonstrated experience in integrating complex mechanical subsystems.

Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills. Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, vital for a remote team. Proven ability to work independently and manage projects effectively in a remote work environment. Experience with scripting languages (e.g., "Python") for automation and testing is a plus.

Our client offers a highly competitive salary, comprehensive health insurance, and performance-based incentives. We support continuous professional growth through access to online learning platforms, specialized training programs, and opportunities to attend virtual industry conferences. Employees receive a generous allowance for home office setup and ongoing technology support. A flexible, remote-first work culture promotes work-life balance and autonomy. Opportunities for career advancement and taking on greater responsibility within a leading-edge technology company are abundant.

Join a visionary team shaping the future of automation and robotics.
