Develop compact mechanisms for robotic hands, from early concepts through detailed design, prototyping, testing, iteration, and production preparation. Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and suppliers.
Обязанности
- Design compact mechanisms for robotic hands, fingers, and wrists, including joints, transmissions, actuation, tendon or cable drives, and sensor-integrated components.
- Perform kinematic, force, tolerance, and structural analyses.
- Create 3D CAD models, assemblies, production drawings, and bills of materials.
- Build and assemble prototypes; conduct mechanical testing and design validation fixtures and procedures.
- Investigate failures, identify root causes, and implement design improvements.
- Select materials, components, and manufacturing processes.
- Collaborate with controls, electronics, software, industrial design, and manufacturing teams, as well as suppliers.
- Support the transition from prototypes to repeatable production.
Требования
- B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
- Professional experience in mechanical design and product development.
- Strong SolidWorks and 3D CAD skills, including manufacturing-ready drawings.
- Sound knowledge of mechanical design fundamentals, tolerances, fits, materials, mechanisms, and load paths.
- Experience designing small, precise, tightly packaged assemblies.
- Hands-on experience assembling, testing, troubleshooting, and improving prototypes.
- Familiarity with machining, additive manufacturing, sheet metal, molding, or other relevant manufacturing processes.
- Ability to make sound engineering decisions and move from concept to hardware independently.
- Strong communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills.
Будет плюсом
- Experience with robotic hands, grippers, prosthetics, medical devices, microsurgical instruments, or other miniature mechanisms.
- Experience with tendon- or cable-driven mechanisms.
- Knowledge of motors, gearboxes, encoders, force or tactile sensors, and electromechanical integration.
- Experience with tolerance-stack analysis, FEA, mechanism simulation, or design optimization.
- Experience designing for reliability, assembly, and volume manufacturing.
- Familiarity with lifetime, wear, friction, backlash, and repeatability testing.
