The senior mechanical design engineer in this role will be responsible for the design of space-rated robotics. You will be designing 3D mechanical models, optimising mechanical design to achieve better performance and higher reliability, creating 2D manufacturing and technical assembly drawings, selecting and acquiring necessary components, deciding on material and lubrication solutions, cooperating with technicians during mechanical parts machining and finishing, assembling, performing functional and environmental testing of prototypes, supporting the rest of the team during integration and system tests, and generally improving and modifying designs.
The ideal candidate has experience working on complex electromechanical systems. You have ample experience performing nuanced engineering and creating specialised designs. You are experienced working with precise mechanisms in a tech-forward industry, such as space, semiconductor, robotics, or automotive. You have worked on at least one project from initial design to final implementation. You are a self-starter, and are comfortable taking ownership of complex design tasks in a dynamic work environment. You take pride in your work, and continually drive projects toward success while considering systems-level requirements.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Designing mechanisms and structures while balancing cost, schedule, and technical requirements
Collaborating with electrical and robotics engineers to package complex electromechanical systems
Optimising mechanical design of end effectors and leading analysis to improve performance and reliability
Creating 2D manufacturing and technical assembly drawings, as well as project-level documentation
Specifying, selecting, and acquiring necessary components
Performing fast-prototypes for quick validation of design
- Holding design reviews with teammates to ensure that designs are manufacturable, easy to assemble and fully functional
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience in precision engineering in the aerospace industry
- Extensive experience working in the laboratory
Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or materials engineering (or a related field)
Minimum of 5 years of experience as a mechanical design engineer
Demonstrated CAD skills (through portfolio and/or 3D modelling evaluations)
Software Expertise: Inventor, SolidWorks, Ansys, Matlab
Fluency in English
PREFERRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:
Worked at least one development project, in a role which required design, integration, and testing
At least 3 years of experience as a mechanical design engineer working intensively on space mechanisms
Developed in the past precise mechanisms for space applications, such as joints, coupling devices, SADMs, APMs, HDRMs, scientific instruments for space exploration missions
Experience in performing thermal, vibrational, and stress analysis
Experience in performing assembly and validation of mechanisms
Experience in Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and/or cost optimisation
- Willing to teach and mentor junior engineers to improve overall team performance
