Mechanical Automation Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical systems for automation equipment, including machine structures, precision mechanisms, tooling, and end-effectors.
• Own the mechanical design lifecycle, including requirements definition, concept development, feasibility studies, architecture design, prototyping, validation, and transition to manufacturing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, suppliers) to ensure seamless system integration and overall automation performance.
• Apply DFX principles-Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, Automation, Reliability, and Cost-to ensure robust and scalable designs.
• Perform kinematic analysis, tolerance stack-up, material selection, and structural validation to meet system performance requirements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex mechanical and system-level issues during development, verification, pilot builds, and sustaining phases.
• Develop and support mechanical solutions for automation systems, including fixtures, handling mechanisms, conveyors, and robotic interfaces.
• Conduct design reviews, risk assessments (DFMEA/PFMEA), and ensure compliance with safety and industry standards.
• Maintain precise engineering documentation, including 3D CAD models, drawings, BOMs, design specifications, and revision control according to internal quality processes.

Requirements
