Responsibilities
Lead the end-to-end design and implementation of complex mechatronic systems, ensuring seamless integration between mechanical structures, electronics, and control software
Analyze complex system trade-offs (e.g., latency vs. torque, cost vs. precision) to recommend optimized architectural solutions and deployment strategies
Partner with global customers to interpret technical specifications and develop the Engineering Scope of Work (SOW) required to transition prototype designs into high-volume production
Perform rigorous engineering calculations and simulations (kinematics, thermal, or structural) to validate system performance before finalizing technical drawings and schematics
Ensure all designs comply with internal procedures, client standards, and international regulations (UL, CE, ISO)
Serve as the Subject Matter Expert, providing technical direction and mentorship to global engineering teams while driving the adoption of strategic technologies
Initiate and manage strategic relationships with vendors and technology partners to source cutting-edge mechatronic components
Lead cross-functional cost-reduction exercises (VAVE) to optimize existing mechatronic designs without sacrificing system reliability
Finalize production-ready designs and GD&T-compliant prints; provide critical engineering support during the manufacturing and assembly phases
Utilize field data and customer feedback to lead the upgrade, repair, or optimization of existing automated machinery
Facilitate and present technical designs to management, cross-functional engineering teams, and customers for critical design reviews (PDR/CDR)
Partner with the business development team to provide technical validation and feasibility assessments during the pre-sales phase
Lead 'Discovery' sessions with clients to extract functional requirements and translate them into technical specifications for the design team
Travel to customer sites as needed to lead design reviews, oversee complex system deployments, or troubleshoot critical performance issues
Distill complex engineering concepts into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders (including C-suite executives)
Act as the primary technical point of contact to manage design changes, scope creep, and technical alignment throughout the project lifecycle
