> Design and build electromechanical and robotic hardware for autonomous mining vehicles, including drive-by-wire actuation, motion systems, and robotic mechanisms. Requires 5-10+ years of experience with complex electromechanical or robotic systems and strong 3D CAD proficiency.
## Job Description
## What You’ll Do
- Design and integrate actuation hardware for autonomous mining vehicles — drive-by-wire steering, braking, and throttle, electric and electrohydraulic actuators, and the motion and powertrain systems that drive the vehicle
- Develop robotic mechanisms and automation hardware (manipulators, end-effectors, automated tooling, and material-handling systems) for unmanned mine operations
- Produce detailed CAD models, drawings, tolerance stack-ups, and bills of materials ready for fabrication, procurement, and assembly
- Select, size, and qualify actuators, drives, motors, gearboxes, bearings, and e-powertrain components, balancing build-vs-buy decisions against cost, lead time, and reliability
- Lead subsystem bench and rig testing, build and instrument prototypes, and drive reliability growth against MTBF and availability targets
- Collaborate with controls and autonomy-software engineers to integrate actuation, compute, and sensing into a complete vehicle

## What You’ll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Robotics, Electrical, or related engineering discipline
- 5-10+ years designing complex electromechanical or robotic systems, ideally including mobile or heavy equipment
- Strong proficiency with 3D CAD
- Hands-on experience with actuation and motion systems - drive-by-wire, electric or electrohydraulic actuators, motors, drives, gearboxes, and their integration
- Working knowledge of design-for-manufacture/assembly and of component selection, qualification, and supplier engagement
- Experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, automotive, or off-highway equipment strongly preferred
