Sr. Technical Recruiter at BrightHire Search Partners
We are seeking a Sr. Mechanical Engineer with experience 3D and 2D design of robotic devices. This role will be a key contributor to several new robotic product lines for a company developing robotic products making a major impact to critical infrastructure.
Robotics Design & Integration
- Design complete robotic systems: chassis, drivetrains, 6-DOF arms, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, cable reels, and lift mechanisms
- Engineer power transmission: motors, gearboxes, lead screws, bearings, seals, chain/belt drives
- Integrate mechatronics: encoders, limit switches, force/torque sensors, motor controllers, cable management
- Create production-ready 3D models, assemblies, and 2D drawings in SolidWorks
- Apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5), generate BOMs, weldment cut lists, and flat patterns
- Perform FEA using SolidWorks Simulation (static, thermal, vibration, fatigue, motion)
- Manage PDM Pro vaults, configurations, design tables, and part libraries
- Set SolidWorks standards and templates for the engineering team
Analysis, Testing & Compliance
- Conduct FEA, tolerance analysis, thermal modeling, and hand calculations
- Develop custom test fixtures and non-standard procedures (IP68, shock, corrosion, endurance)
- Ensure compliance with UL, CSA, ANSI, ISO, and hazardous location standards
- Lead DFMEA/PFMEA and support process control plans
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Define motion control specs (speed, torque, <0.1 mm repeatability) with firmware
- Support manufacturing, quality, purchasing, and customer service
- Drive sustaining engineering: failure analysis, cost reduction, obsolescence
- Mentor junior engineers in robotics design and SolidWorks best practices
Required
- B.S. Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics (M.S. preferred)
- Expert in SolidWorks: 3D/2D, Simulation (FEA), PDM Pro
- Experience taking a product from concept to release
- Experience with GD&T, DFM/DFA, FEA
