Your Role as a Mechanical Engineer
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will spearhead new product development, playing a pivotal role in the design, conceptualization, and engineering of cutting-edge robotic systems. Your key responsibilities will encompass:
Innovative Design: Lead the development of advanced robotic arms and grippers, focusing on the selection and integration of essential components like gears, bearings, encoders, electric motors, clutches, brakes, and PCB elements. Utilize your expertise in detailed part design to enhance system performance.
Engineering Analysis: Apply your in-depth understanding of engineering principles to conduct root cause analysis, propose product enhancements, and design new components. Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to optimize assemblies in terms of mass, cost, stiffness, and thermal performance.
Manufacturability and Assembly: Design products prioritizing ease of assembly and maintenance. Utilize Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to create engineering drawings that ensure manufacturability while controlling costs.
Tolerance Management: Effectively manage critical stack-up tolerances across assemblies to guarantee optimal system functionality. Choose materials and components that minimize cost and lead time while upholding quality standards.
Research and Development: Stay engaged with scientific literature and journals to incorporate the latest engineering and physics advancements into robotic arm design.
Supplier Collaboration: Work closely with suppliers to ensure the effective use of components and subsystems. Develop comprehensive assembly plans and procedures as designs evolve.
Electrical Integration: Provide guidance on PCB layout and wire harness routing to guarantee smooth integration with mechanical designs.
Cost and Performance Optimization: Analyze make versus buy decisions to uncover avenues for cost reduction and performance enhancement. Assist in the evaluation and procurement of capital equipment.
Quality and Manufacturing Support: Establish inspection protocols to ensure product quality and reliability.
