About the Role

This position provides an opportunity to transition from other private, public, government or military experience to a 3M career. As a Product Development Engineer, you will have the opportunity to tap into your curiosity and collaborate with some of the most innovative people around the world. Here, you will make an impact by leading the mechanical design and development of next-generation automated robotic installation tools from concept through production.

Responsibilities

Lead the mechanical design and development of the next-generation automated robotic installation tools from concept through production.
Design precision mechanisms and assemblies using 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks).
Design mechanical enclosures, components and assemblies.
Design for robustness, serviceability, and long-term field reliability.
Integrate motors, drives, encoders, sensors into robust mechanical assemblies, working closely with electronics and controls engineers.
Develop motion and actuation concepts and collaborate on servo/torque-motor and control-system integration (e.g., EtherCAT-based motion).
Perform engineering analysis — tolerance stack-up, kinematics, structural, thermal and load studies — to ensure reliable, manufacturable designs.
Assemble, characterize, calibrate and troubleshoot mechanical prototypes and engineering builds, integrating with electrical and control subsystems and iterating toward field-ready products.
Select and specify mechanical components, materials and finishes, balance performance, cost and manufacturability.
Drive product architecture, feasibility studies, prototyping, and engineering verification activities.
Create mechanical documentation, including detailed drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and design records.
Collaborate with manufacturing, suppliers, and external development partners to scale designs into production.
Interact with regulatory teams to ensure compliance with applicable safety and machinery standards.
Generate intellectual property positions, including invention submissions, patents and 3M trade secrets.
Communicate tests and other program results to internal and external stakeholders.
Drive the development and commercialization of products to efficiently, reliably and sustainably deliver energy to customers around the world.
Comply with corporate policies, procedures and security standards while performing assigned duties.
Contribute to a strong Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) culture by following safety policies, identifying hazards, and engaging in continuous improvement.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering (such as Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics Engineering) completed and verified prior to start from an accredited institution.
Three (3) or more years’ experience designing electromechanical or automated equipment from concept through prototype and production.
Three (3) or more years’ experience with 3D mechanical CAD such as SolidWorks and engineering documentation including detailed drawings, GD&T, and BOMs.
Three (3) or more years’ experience designing mechanisms, motion systems, and precision assemblies, including integration with motors, actuators, sensors, electronics, and system prototyping/troubleshooting.
Must be legally authorized to work in country of employment without sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H1B status).
