Mechanical Engineer, Robotics
Mechanical Engineer designing and productionizing robotics systems for data center automation, focusing on end effectors, docking interfaces, rapid prototyping, reliability testing, and integration with controls/software teams. Requires robotics/mechatronics hardware experience from prototype to production.
About the job
Mechanical Engineer, Robotics
Responsibilities
- Engineer the mechanical side of data center robotics: end effectors, docking, and interfaces between robots and plant.
- Design the physical integration: how robots handle, mate with, and service equipment designed for humans.
- Prototype fast and test hard: concepts to instrumented trials in weeks.
- Productionize what works: DFM, reliability, and spares for hardware that runs unattended.
- Take hardware from prototype through reliability testing.
- Design interfaces and tolerances that survive the real world.
- Test to failure on purpose and instrument everything.
- Work in fast loops with controls and software.
Requirements
- Designed mechanical systems for robotics, automation, or mechatronics products.
- Taken hardware from prototype through reliability testing.
- Design interfaces and tolerances that survive the real world.
- Test to failure on purpose and instrument everything.
- Work in fast loops with controls and software.
Nice-to-Haves
- End effector and gripper design.
- GD&T depth.
- DFM at low volume.
- Server and rack hardware familiarity.
