  • Design solutions and create 3D CAD models using SolidWorks; conduct structural and reliability analyses with ANSYS
  • Drive fast iteration through rapid prototyping, testing, and proof-of-concept validation
  • Generate assembly layouts and detailed engineering drawings with GD&T annotations to industry standards
  • Design and build test fixtures, jigs, and tooling; develop and execute testing plans and failure root cause analysis
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and manufacturers to ensure producibility and guide requirements

What they're looking for

  • SolidWorks CAD design
  • ANSYS finite element analysis
  • Mechanical system design and integration
  • GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
  • Hands-on prototyping and hardware testing
  • Robotics or autonomous systems experience
  • Design for harsh/extreme environments
  • Cross-functional communication and collaboration

Benefits

  • Visa sponsorship available
  • Hands-on impact on autonomous robotics technology
