About the Role
Loombotic is building automated manufacturing lines for wire harnesses, aiming to reduce lead times from months to about a week. This role involves designing, integrating, and owning the mechanical systems for these machines, from concept to production.
Responsibilities
- Design machines and end effectors that handle limp, variable wire and tiny connectors.
- Build fixtures and tooling that turn fiddly manual steps into fast, repeatable operations.
- Integrate mechanical, motion, and vision into a machine that runs reliably on the floor.
- Hit tight tolerances and cycle times while keeping machines buildable, serviceable, and affordable.
- Get from a blank Onshape doc to a working, production-grade machine fast, then make the next one better.
- Design mechanisms, end effectors, fixtures, and tooling for the automated line in Onshape.
- Own machines end-to-end: concept → CAD → prototype → bring-up → debugging → running in production.
- Integrate mechanical designs with motion, actuators, controls, and vision/robotics systems.
- Prototype fast with 3D printing, machining, and off-the-shelf parts; iterate on real hardware.
- Apply DFM/DFA and sound tolerancing; spec materials, hardware, and fits.
- Source parts and work with machine shops and vendors.
- Be on the floor when your machine runs - measure cycle time, yield, and reliability, and make it better.
Requirements
- Mechanical engineering degree or equivalent hands-on experience.
- Demonstrated experience designing and building real mechanisms or machines.
- Proficiency in Onshape or another parametric CAD tool.
- Solid mechanical fundamentals: mechanism design, tolerancing/GD&T basics, materials, fasteners.
- Comfortable working on-site in Austin, TX.
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S. or Canada.
