Mechanical Engineer

What You'll Do

• Ownership of the mechanical technical specification, design, integration, and release of autonomous agriculture vehicle systems
• Create CAD models, drawings, and specifications for parts and assemblies
• Troubleshoot issues, determine root causes, design and implement corrective and preventative solutions
• Create and execute test plans, analyze data and work with other teams on how to improve tested systems
• Work closely with external partners to devise solutions that meet system goals around safety, performance, and cost
• Facilitate technical discussions through all program phases with internal and cross-functional stakeholders and drive escalation where necessary
• Coordinate with cross-functional vehicle development leads in engineering (EE, SW), supply chain, and program management with the goal of driving alignment on program execution details, planning, and readiness
• Work with program management to plan development schedules, builds, and resolve supply chain issues

What You'll Bring

• BSME and 3+ years of relevant experience (or combination of education and applicable work experience)
