What the job involves

The Mechanical Systems Test Engineer will be responsible for developing and performing test methodologies to determine the robustness and long term reliability (LTR) of Fulfil’s robotic systems
As a core part of the R&D team, you will assume a great deal of responsibility ensuring tests are well designed and well executed in order to uncover potential end of life (EOL) issues
You will need to design test fixturing and build test fixtures
This role will require you perform root cause and failure analysis on issues discovered during testing
The ideal candidate must have a keen understanding of fatigue and wear related failure modes but also be knowledgeable in multiple fields including robotics, hardware, electronics and automation in order to handle multiple failure modes that could arise during testing
Communicating clearly with other teams is key to this role to ensure effective solutions are implemented, whether they be design, maintenance or process based
This role offers ample growth opportunities while working side‑by‑side with a motivated team to bring our innovative and exciting new technology to reality
Engineer the transition of Fulfil’s system from prototype to production machines by improving their LTR and Robustness over entire expected life time
Design test fixtures based on current and future Fulfil designs using Solid Works
Own creation of test plans for inducing EOL failure on various robotic assemblies and components
Build models to determine how many units need to be tested and for how long to support specific reliability objectives
Carry out testing for LTR, ensuring proper execution of methodology including HALT testing
Perform root cause and failure analysis during the testing cycles
Analyze and interpret data from LTR test, presents this data and conclusion to various stakeholders to determine best path forward
Leverage wide breadth of engineering knowledge to generate proper solutions to an equally diverse set of problems
Lead projects requiring cross-team coordination, project management, resource management, decision making, and effective communication on tight timelines in order to run effective tests
Develop and implement new equipment or functionality to improve the Fulfil technical ecosystem
Identify and implement mechanical design improvements and product changes to solve issues. Verify fix effectiveness with a data driven approach
Lead 3D CAD and BOM generation, perform detailed design work on large complex systems
Create detailed component and assembly drawings using GD&T
Work with NPI and Operations teams to drive hardware deployment in new facilities
Maintain a functional reliability lab, ensuring tests are running and tools and equipment are organized
