Senior Mechanical Engineer - Robotics / Electromechanical Product Development

Conjoint Inc is hiring a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own complex mechanical and electromechanical systems from concept through production and sustaining engineering. The role leads system design, validation, manufacturing readiness, product integration, and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of mechanical and electromechanical systems from concept through architecture, CAD design, prototyping, validation, and production release
• Own subsystem architecture, component strategy, and technical trade-offs balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost
• Design structural components, mechanisms, drive systems, robotic assemblies, and other electromechanical systems
• Lead root-cause investigations of design, manufacturing, reliability, and field-performance issues
• Perform and guide FEA, fatigue analysis, tolerance stack-ups, dynamic analysis, vibration assessments, and design verification
• Drive DFM, DFA, DFR, and DFx activities with suppliers and manufacturing partners
• Own prototype builds, engineering validation testing, pilot builds, and production launch activities
• Partner with electrical, firmware, software, controls, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams for successful product integration
• Define and execute functional, environmental, vibration, fatigue, wear, and life-cycle testing
• Support supplier development, component qualification, manufacturing readiness, and continuous product improvement

Requirements:

• 9+ years of experience in mechanical engineering and product development of complex mechanical or electromechanical systems
• Experience leading products from concept through validation, production launch, and sustaining engineering
• Strong proficiency with 3D CAD, FEA, FMEA, PLM systems, and engineering documentation practices
• Experience designing mechanisms and electromechanical systems using motors, gear trains, bearings, belt drives, actuators, sensors, and power transmission components
• Strong understanding of dynamics, kinematics, fatigue, wear, vibration, and reliability engineering
• Experience with GD&T, tolerance analysis, stack-ups, structural/modal/dynamic analysis, and design verification
• Experience selecting materials and manufacturing processes for high-volume products including sheet metal, aluminum extrusions, castings, machined components, and injection-molded plastics
• Strong understanding of DFM, DFA, DFR, and Design for Cost
• Experience with global suppliers/contract manufacturers, requirements development, interface management, risk assessment, system-level trade studies, and technical leadership
• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field; relevant experience may substitute for formal education
• Experience developing robotics, automation equipment, autonomous systems, material handling equipment, or industrial machinery
• Experience with warehouse automation, ASRS systems, or automated fulfillment technologies
• Experience with reliability growth testing, accelerated life testing, and field-performance analysis
• Experience in cross-functional product development spanning mechanical, electrical, controls, and software disciplines
• Experience with automated warehouse products
