Job Description:
Robotic Mechanical Engineer – FTC Contract
About the Role
We’re looking for a Robotic Mechanical Engineer to join an innovative research team working on cutting-edge AI and robotic technologies. This is a hands-on role where you’ll be designing, building, and testing prototype robotic systems that support advanced research and development.
You’ll work in a multi-disciplinary environment, taking ownership of mechanical designs from concept to completion. Prototyping is at the heart of what we do, and you’ll have direct access to tools such as SolidWorks, 3D printing, and CNC machining to bring ideas to life.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and implement motion systems, including mechanism design, motor integration, and mechanical system implementation.
* Work with SolidWorks and simulation tools to develop and refine designs.
* Support rapid prototyping using 3D printing and light machining.
* Assemble and test robotic systems, iterating designs as needed.
* Collaborate with engineers across mechanical, electronics, and software disciplines to develop complete robotic solutions.
* Engage in hands-on debugging and testing using oscilloscopes, power supplies, and PCB assembly techniques.
Key Skills & Experience
Required:
* Demonstrable experience in motion system design, motor integration, and mechanism design.
* Strong knowledge of mechanical system development within defined form factors.
* Hands-on experience with light machining and 3D printing.
* Ability to work independently and take ownership of full product lifecycle.
Preferred:
* SolidWorks, including PDM and CAM.
* Experience with ECAD (Altium), analogue/digital electronics, PCB assembly.
* Hands-on debugging using test equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.).
* Embedded software experience (Python, C++, ROS2) for automation and system integration.
Why Join?
* Work on high-impact, disruptive projects at the forefront of AI and robotics research.
* Access to cutting-edge prototyping facilities, including 5-axis CNC machines.
* Fast-paced, collaborative environment with a fail-fast, learn-fast culture.
* Opportunity to develop new skills while working with a world-class research team.
If you’re an experienced mechatronic engineer who thrives in an agile and experimental environment, we’d love to hear from you!
