About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and for Assembly (DFA) throughout the product lifecycle—from R&D through prototyping, validation, and scalable production.
Apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to high-precision, tolerance-critical robotic components and ensure alignment with design intent and manufacturing feasibility.
Collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers to validate component designs, optimize manufacturing processes, and reduce cost and lead times.
Create and manage CAD models and detailed engineering drawings using Creo to support current and new products and fixtures.
Solid understanding of change management, use of item attributes, engineering changes, engineering and manufacturing bills of material, material dispositions, and effectivity, and implementation.
Guide prototype builds and design reviews, ensuring engineering rigor and cross-functional alignment.
Support tooling and fixture development for repeatable, high-yield manufacturing.
Mentor junior engineers and promote engineering best practices across the design and manufacturing teams.
Continuously improve documentation, design processes, and design standards to support scalability and production excellence.

Requirements

What you’ll need

15+ years of experience in mechanical design and manufacturing engineering experience in robotics, aerospace, semiconductor or medical equipment, or other complex electromechanical systems.
Proven expertise in DFM, DFA and critical tolerance analysis for precision mechanical systems and components.
Strong background in designing for assembly, inspection, and automation in high-mix, low-to-medium volume production environments.
Proficient in CAD tools (ie: Creo 5.0), GD&T and tolerance stack up analysis.
Strong understanding of mechanical inspection tools and processes (ie: CMM, micrometer, bore gauges, profile testers, optical inspection, etc.).
Experience using PLM software, bonus points for experience using WindChill.
Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.
Strong knowledge of actuation systems, robotic kinematics, sensors, and cable management is a plus.
Experience working across teams including Design, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Production, Quality, Test, Systems Engineering, and Program Management.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field, or a minimum of 15+ years relevant design experience.
