Mechatronics Design Engineer

Inside the Role

• Create detailed 2D and 3D CAD layouts and drawings which meet the system technical requirements and can be produced by internal and external suppliers.
• Collaborate closely with engineers to understand design requirements and ensure accuracy and functionality in all system designs and drawings.
• Participate in design reviews to receive and offer critical constructive feedback and recommendations on design improvements.
• Organize CAD files by creating a BOM in PLM software to clearly communicate design intent internally for engineering validation and externally to suppliers for mass production.
• Contribute to the development of supplemental design documentation such as assembly instructions, test reports, and cost analysis.
• Assist in the development of prototypes by working with in house fabrication and technicians to help build your designs with your own hands.
• Verify your design by simulation and test with support from internal and external test engineers and labs.

The Must Haves

• Bachelor’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree
• Minimum of 3-5 years experience in job related experience
• Proficiency in CATIA V5 or V6 and FEA simulation software
• Ability to create mechanical layouts combining structural elements, actuators, transducers, and HMI interfaces
• Ability to create, interpret, and build simple electrical circuit and wiring diagrams
• Demonstrated successful track record of design ownership of a complete mechatronics system from start to finish
• Experience designing automotive High Voltage DC systems
• Attention to detail when creating 2D and 3D layouts and drawings
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines and business functions
• Ability to work on-site in a dynamic environment, with hands-on involvement on the build floor

Bonus Points

• Leadership experience in collegiate level student design competitions
• Prior internship or co-op experience in an engineering environment.
• Familiarity with automotive engineering standards, manufacturing technology, and electric vehicles
• Demonstrated hands-on experience in a fabrication shop using machine tools

Other Requirements

• Physical Requirements: Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds of equipment and components. Comfortable with occasional bending, kneeling, and climbing as required for infrastructure maintenance.
• Travel Requirements: Occasional travel may be required for training, pilot support, conferences, or to support remote office locations.
• While we appreciate the importance of schedule flexibility, it's essential to note that the nature of this role necessitates a regular and consistent onsite presence.
