Responsibilities

Performing engineering tasks across the whole product lifecycle, from initial concept development to supporting fielded products

Learning quickly about the requirements and challenges in a variety of applications including off-road autonomy, clean energy, the rail industry, agriculture, industrial automation and more

Developing requirements with customers and peers in exciting new robotics applications where the right solution isn’t obvious

Performing concept design and feasibility work to guide leadership in proposals and bidding

Modelling parts and assemblies in CAD (Solidworks) both for concept development and detailed sensor and mechanism design

Designing mechanisms with multiple degrees of freedom

Trading electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic power solutions depending upon the application

Identifying mechanical risks in a design and modelling failures and solutions using hand calculations, spreadsheets, programs (like Python scripts), FEA (Ansys) and CFD simulations

Creating drawings for manufacturing using GD&T, working with suppliers to improve design for manufacturability

Working with engineering technicians to quickly prototype in-house, using Carnegie’s waterjet, laser cutter, mill, lathe, sheet metal tools, welding equipment, and 3D printer farm

Collaborating with software, electrical and systems engineers. The office space, test facilities, production floor, and high bay vehicle assembly spaces are all under one roof

Testing sensors, components and subassemblies in on-site lab equipment like thermal chambers and a vibration table. Preparing test reports for internal and customer use

Designing tests for vehicles and robots on-site using Carnegie’s test track space, or off-site at test locations

Working with production technicians and engineers to transition prototype products to production validated builds

Reviewing the work of other engineers and providing insightful, actionable feedback on designs

Preparing and presenting product reports as needed for management, suppliers, and customers

Travelling occasionally (5% of time or less) to support on-site testing of systems

Performing other duties as assigned
