Job description: As a Junior Mechatronics engineer, you will be participating in the research, development and deployment of AI enabled robot cells for material handling and logistics applications. You will collaborate with Operations, Software, and Machine Learning teams to research, design, integrate, test and deploy new robotic hardware including: robot cell designs, end effectors, cameras, lighting, HW control devices (PLCs, I/O couplers, sensors, etc), pneumatics, actuators, and custom mechanisms.

We value candidates who are passionate about what they build, feel a strong sense of ownership over their work, are driven to succeed and appreciate a harmonious work environment.

What You'll be Doing

Design, prototype, and test ML-enabled robotic automation systems

Develop system-level designs for cell controls using off-the-shelf hardware (I/O couplers, PLCs, sensors)

Support pneumatic and electrical design, with guidance from senior engineers

Work with domestic and offshore integration partners on the build and deployment of robotic cells

Contribute to feasibility and cost analyses for new mechatronic systems

Draft and maintain technical specifications

Test and characterize electromechanical and optical systems

Troubleshoot electrical and mechanical issues to keep equipment ready for demos and development

Experience and Skills You'll Need

1+ years of machine design or mechatronics experience in industry

Strong SolidWorks skills, including building and maintaining multi-level assemblies and including modeling and creation of detailed drawings

Understanding of design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA) principles

Experience designing for 3D printing, sheet metal, CNC machining, and welding

Experience specifying and integrating off-the-shelf controls hardware

Comfort around machine tools, and the ability to fabricate prototypes in-house

Experience working with outside partners or vendors on design, fabrication, assembly, or test

Clear written and verbal communication, and a collaborative working style

Willingness to learn and thrive in a fast-paced, small-team environment

Ability to work on-site 4-5 days per week
