Mechatronics CAD Design Engineer (Robotic Structures)

Mechatronics CAD Design Engineer (Outdoor Robotic Enclosure Systems) | Motion Mechanisms & Weatherproof Design About the role We’re looking for a Mechatronics CAD Design Engineer to take an existing autonomous ground hardware system andraise it to industry-grade standards . The work is very hands-on: improving mechanical design formovable doors/panels , increasingweather resistance and waterproofing , and making the product more reliable, serviceable, and production-ready—without overcomplicating it. What you’ll doImprove and industrialize an existing mechanical system into a robust, production-ready product with strong reliability and serviceability. Design and refinemovable door/panel mechanisms(hinges, sliders, latches, linkages, hard stops, dampers) for smooth operation and repeatability. Develop and validateweatherproof and waterproof mechanical design : sealing concepts, gasket grooves, labyrinth features, drainage paths, IP-oriented design practices, and corrosion protection. Integrate electromechanical components such asmotors, actuators, gearboxes, belts/lead screws, springs, locks, sensors, and limit switchesinto clean mechanical layouts. Improve structural stiffness and alignment for mechanisms under real-world conditions (dust, rain, vibration, temperature changes), including tolerance considerations and wear points. Designquick-service mechanical joinersand modular subassemblies for fast maintenance and replacement in the field. Create complete CAD deliverables: 3D models, assemblies, drawings, BOMs, tolerance notes, and assembly instructions suitable for fabrication and production. Work closely with fabrication and production teams to prototype, test, and iterate quickly based on real build feedback. Collaborate with electrical and controls teams to ensure good routing/protection of cables and sensors, safe actuator integration, and reliable interlocks. Support verification testing and improvements based on field issues, root-cause analysis, and engineering change implementation. What we’re looking for2+ yearsexperience in mechanical/mechatronics CAD design for robotics, automation, industrial products, outdoor equipment, or similar systems. Strong CAD skills inSolidWorks Solid understanding of mechanisms and design fundamentals:fasteners, tolerance stack-up, alignment, bearings, materials, wear, vibration , and practical DFM/DFA. Comfort designing for real-world deployment:sealing, corrosion prevention, drainage, service access , and durability. Ability to produce shop-ready drawings and work closely with technicians to get parts built and working. Nice to haveExposure toIP-rated enclosure design(IP54/IP65/IP67 concepts), gasket selection, sealing strategies, and outdoor thermal considerations. Experience with sheet metal, machined parts, castings, or composite enclosures. Basic understanding of actuator sizing, load paths, and mechanism testing. Familiarity with PDM/PLM and engineering change workflows. Why join usYou’ll work on a product that’s already real—and make itindustrial, rugged, and field-ready . Strong ownership: your design decisions will directly improve reliability and user experience. Fast iteration loop with direct access to fabrication and testing. Performance-based recognition and growth opportunities as projects scale.
