📋 Description

• Design compact, high-performance rotary and linear actuators using harmonic or strain-wave, planetary, cycloidal, and novel drive architectures. • Own actuator and precision-drive designs from early concept development through prototype, validation, production readiness, and customer integration. • Use first-principles engineering, kinematics, statics, dynamics, and materials knowledge to make informed architecture and design decisions. • Evaluate competing concepts through analytical calculations, engineering trade studies, simulation, and physical testing. • Build and refine prototypes to improve torque density, efficiency, durability, manufacturability, packaging, and overall system performance. • Partner with materials and manufacturing engineers to incorporate advanced materials and fabrication processes into practical mechanical designs. • Work directly with customer engineering teams to ensure drive systems meet mechanical, electrical, packaging, and control-interface requirements. • Produce detailed CAD models, engineering drawings, bills of materials, assembly documentation, and other information required to manufacture and integrate designs. • Develop and execute verification tests, interpret test data, identify root causes, and iterate designs based on real-world performance. • Participate in technical design reviews and support design verification and integration activities through successful deployment.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a closely related engineering discipline. • 3+ years of professional experience designing electromechanical actuators, gear systems, precision drive mechanisms, or closely related mechanical systems. • Strong understanding of mechanical design fundamentals, including kinematics, statics, dynamics, and materials behavior. • Demonstrated understanding of precision actuators, gearing, or mechanical power-transmission systems. • Proficiency with modern 3D CAD tools and commonly used mechanical simulation or engineering analysis tools. • Hands-on experience building, machining, assembling, and testing mechanical or electromechanical prototypes. • Ability to take a mechanical design beyond CAD and contribute through physical validation and design iteration. • Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline with a focus on machine design, dynamics, robotics, or mechatronics (nice to have). • 5+ years of experience designing electromechanical actuators, gear systems, or precision drive mechanisms (nice to have). • Experience with harmonic or strain-wave drives, planetary gearing, cycloidal drives, or other high-ratio transmission architectures (nice to have). • Track record of taking mechanical hardware from initial concept through production (nice to have). • Experience working directly with customers or external engineering teams during hardware integration (nice to have).
