The posting

Who You Are

We are searching for a Research & Development Mechanical Engineer who will execute mechanical design, support, and research engineering tasks for new products in the robotics painting market. The size and complexity of each assigned task will vary, and will require attention to both engineering and design detail. You will be responsible for the design of robotic linkages, selection of drives, and various other peripheral components, and understand how these elements impact product performance, reliability, and cost.

In addition to new product research and development assignments, you will also be assigned to resolve current issues with existing products and installations. You will work with various stakeholders to investigate and resolve mechanical hardware issues, including but not limited to motion, electrical and fluid-handling components.

How It’s Done

  • Selection and packaging of mechanical components
  • Develop, update, modify and release component and assembly designs and drawings using SolidWorks
  • Define and implement required analysis for mechanical design problems
  • Review and rationalization of commercial component options for a design
  • Design castings, weldments, drive components, and various other machined parts
  • Complete and release production drawings with minimum supervision
  • Establish dimensions and tolerances for new components, including application of GD&T principles
  • Address and resolve design concerns identified by assembly technicians and/or suppliers
  • Estimate the duration and labor cost to complete a proposed design
  • Release components and bills of materials (BOMs) in the Oracle ERP system
  • Develop and execute paint product validation and performance tests
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop innovative robotic painting systems
  • Develop simple project schedules to support engineering activities and project milestones
  • Create technical procedures, work instructions and content for product documentation
  • Some business travel is also required as needed

What You Need

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Experience through coursework, research, internships, co-op assignments, or industry work involving mechanical design and analysis
  • Fundamental understanding of machine design, mechanisms, and mechanical system development
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, assembly documentation, and technical procedures
  • Exposure to CAD modeling software and engineering calculation tools, including SolidWorks, Mathcad, or similar platforms
  • Interest in robotics, automation, and the development of industrial equipment
  • Demonstrated analytical and troubleshooting skills for solving mechanical and interdisciplinary engineering challenges
  • Ability to effectively manage multiple assignments and contribute to project schedules and technical deliverables
  • Willingness to learn FANUC robot operation, programming, and robotic application development

What Would Be Even Better

  • Masters Degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering
  • 3+ years experience in Mechanical Design and Analysis (SolidEdge, SolidWorks, 3D, 2D CAD, Ansys, Mathcad, etc.)

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
