About the Role
Lead the mechanical design of drone motors and robotic actuators, owning rotating machinery, bearing systems, gears, and transmissions. Balance performance, weight, and cost, ensuring designs are manufacturable at scale for high-volume production.
Responsibilities
- Design and optimize the mechanical architecture of motors and actuators, including shafts, housings, bearing systems, gears, and transmissions.
- Perform structural, tolerance stack-up, fatigue, and bearing support analyses.
- Drive DFM/A from the earliest concepts, engineering parts for high-volume production.
- Explore high volume manufacturing methods such as stamping and casting working with suppliers.
- Create detailed CAD models, GD&T-based drawings, and design documentation.
- Work cross-functionally with Motor Design, Manufacturing, Quality, and Field Applications Engineers.
- Support prototyping, testing, and validation of new designs, and drive continuous improvement.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in drone, robotics, automotive, aerospace, or high-volume electromechanical products.
- Industry experience with rotating machinery, including bearings, gears, or transmissions.
- Hands-on knowledge of metal manufacturing methods such as milling, turning, stamping, and casting.
- Demonstrated experience with DFM/A designing high-volume products.
- Proficiency with CAD tools for mechanical design (e.g., SolidWorks, Onshape), including GD&T.
- Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
- Authorized to work in the United States.
