Mechanical Engineer

Overview

Design, develop, and validate mechanical systems for large-format robotic 3D printing equipment.

Key Responsibilities

• mechanical design
• fea/cfd
• v&v
• plm management
• design review
• field support

Tasks

-Identify risks and drive mitigation strategies throughout the design process, utilizing tools like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). -Review and check drawings created by other team members for accuracy, completeness, adherence to established drafting standards. -Own the design and engineering lifecycle of complex mechanical assemblies, systems, and specialized tooling for large-format robotic 3D printing construction equipment. -Provide hands-on support for field deployment and root cause analysis of mechanical failures in operational and prototype systems. -Develop and execute rigorous verification and validation plans (V&V) to ensure designs meet all functional, performance, and reliability requirements. -Manage and control engineering documentation, including drawings, models, and Bills of Materials (BOMs), within the Product Data/Lifecycle Management (PDM/PLM) system. -Lead cross-functional design reviews (DRs), incorporating feedback from industrial design, manufacturing, reliability, software, and field operations teams. -Collaborate closely with other Engineers (mechanical, electrical, and software) to develop effective designs that meet functional and performance product requirements. -Perform detailed engineering analyses (structural, thermal, and kinematic) using foundational hand calculations and advanced computational modeling (FEA/CFD) to evaluate stress, deflection, fatigue, thermal performance, and dynamic system behavior. -Generate comprehensive engineering documentation, including 3D CAD models, detailed 2D drawings per ASME Y14.5 standards, and accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs). -Collaborate closely with Prototype Technicians and Manufacturing teams during the build phase to troubleshoot assembly issues and rapidly implement design updates. -Drive the selection and qualification of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, materials, and fabrication methods to optimize designs for Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and cost-effectiveness.
