Mechatronics Engineer

Overview

Contribute to the mechanical and electromechanical design of robotic components, including actuators, sensors, transmission systems, and test fixtures.

• Hands on assistance in integrating hardware and software subsystems for robotic systems.

Support the development and implementation of novel mechanisms, sensing strategies, and control algorithms.

• Design and build subsystem test fixtures, data acquisition, create test plans, perform tests, measure and analyze data, and refine design assumptions.
• Troubleshooting root-cause of mechanical failures, implementing improved designs, testing effectiveness of change.
• Work closely with researchers, software engineers, and external partners to iterate on designs and incorporate feedback.

• Prepare technical reports and design documentation to share findings and support future development.
• Building and maintaining BOMs and as-built configuration management.
• Perform Finite element analysis, static structural

• Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, robotics or mechatronics. Proficiency in CAD (Solid Works, NX), rapid prototyping, and mechanical design for robotics.
• Strong background in actuator selection, sensor integration (force, tactile, position), and embedded systems.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team.
• Experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

• Master’s or PHD in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Strong background in actuator selection, sensor integration (force, tactile, position), and embedded systems.
• Experience with real-time control systems (C/C++, Python, ROS) and hardware-software integration.
