Staff Mechanical Engineer

Description:

Responsibilities:

• Integration of electromechanical elements and subsystems into prototypes and/or test platforms
• Efficiently and effectively operate test infrastructure in support of product development testing
• Build support hardware (wire harnesses, fixtures, reference metrology, etc.) necessary to perform testing tasks
• When integration issues arise, quickly and effectively debug electronic signals, mechanical motion systems or test infrastructure elements (motors, inverters, loggers, DAQs, controllers, etc.) in order to maximize system utility
• Concept, design, build and operate test setups to investigate, validate or characterize electromechanical elements
• Work collaboratively with product design teams to develop validation test plans and procedures
• Post process test data and present findings to product design teams and leadership
• Provide feedback to product design teams during architecture evaluation phases, component selection, component validation testing and subsystem validation testing phases of the product design cycle
• Own the upkeep, modification and capability expansion of test infrastructure systems
• Work collaboratively with technician staff, EE staff, ME staff and SW/controls engineers

Qualifications:

• 6+ years of applicable industry experience performing component, subsystem and system level validation and verification testing
• Strong familiarity with electromechanical systems – sensors, power transmission, actuators, motors and motor controllers
• Proficiency in hands-on mechanical integration, assembly, troubleshooting and documentation of electromechanical systems
• Familiarity with product requirement definition and tracking tools
• Proficiency in specification and implementation of signal filtering techniques to ensure robust data transmission
• Knowledge of proper electrical harness fabrication techniques and the ability to build & quality test basic electrical harnesses in support of integration and test activities
• Comfortable working in a small-team environment where individuals are expected to fill the needs of multiple roles in order to ensure program success
• Understanding of electrical safety measures and comfortable working around 1kW+ power supplies, batteries, power transmission systems
• Track record of “continued learning”, clear communication, cross-collaboration and data-driven decision making
• Ability to clearly document and present project material to all levels of leadership
• Proficient with Matlab, Git, data management software, Microsoft Office products
• Minimum education: Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering or higher
