As a Mechanical Systems Engineer, a typical day might include the following:
* Designing, developing, and testing mechanical components, assemblies, and systems for robotic platforms.
* Creating detailed 3D models, drawings, and specifications using CAD software (SolidWorks).
* Supporting the integration of mechanical systems with electronic and software components.
* Troubleshooting and debugging mechanical systems to ensure functionality and reliability.
* Finding and testing materials and manufacturing processes to enhance robotic systems.
* Ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
* Leading failure analysis and risk assessment for mechanical components in robotic systems.
* Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including electrical, industrial design, and software engineers, to ensure seamless system integration.
* Staying updated on emerging technologies and trends in mechanical design and robotics.
This job might be the right one for you if:
