  • Integrate mechanical designs with electrical, control, and software systems
  • Perform simulations, stress analysis, and finite element analysis to ensure the durability and performance of components in harsh operational conditions
  • Outline and perform testing and validation of new designs at a subsystem and integration level, iteratively making necessary modifications to achieve the desired objective
  • Optimize mechanical systems for performance, weight, cost, and manufacturability
  • Conduct field visits to understand operational challenges and implement improvements to enhance performance and reliability in real-world conditions
  • Produce documentation outlining design choices, test results, and future improvements

Competencies :

  • 2+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in heavy machinery, drilling equipment, or autonomous systems
  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
  • Proficiency in CAD software (NX, SolidWorks, or similar)
  • Experience with FEA tools for stress analysis and simulation (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus)
  • Strong understanding of hydraulic systems, drive mechanisms, and structural design
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials, and tolerances
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment to rapidly prototype and manufacture new products
  • Experience with field testing and working in rugged environments
