Build Robots! Mechanical Engineer
at
Orbotix Inc
in Boulder, Colorado
We’re looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join the Orbotix engineering team. In this role you will work with our team to help build state-of-the-art mobile, and most importantly fun, gaming robots like our first product, Sphero ( http://www.gosphero.com ).
This is a salaried full-time position with benefits (full medical, cell phone, free beer, fun work environment, flexible hours, and more). Salary will be commensurate with experience. We look forward to hearing from you!
Role & Responsibilities
-Assist in translating product requirements into mechanical designs.
-Work on accessory ideas like ramps, skins, ect.
-Work on new product designs.
-Understand and articulate technical risks and design margin throughout process.
-Leverage analytical tools to select optimal architecture and verify that subsystems meet design intent, including FEA simulation and spreadsheet-based analysis tools.
-Complete mechanical layouts and detailed part design, creating and/or updating 3D CAD models using Pro-E.
-Leverage rapid prototyping approaches in early design verification, including several prototyping technologies.
-Conduct cross-functional design reviews and implement Design-For-Manufacturing and Assembly disciplines to optimize designs prior to tooling parts.
-Create internal drawing standards and generate appropriately dimensioned drawings with realistic tolerances that assure desired assembly performance using Tolerance Stack Analysis.
-Work in Quality Assurance Capacity to determine appropriate level of component, system, and/or life testing requirements to verify designs.
Obtain and verify that design-intent parts fully comply with all product requirements. Follow up on results from short and long term testing.
-Perform methodical root cause analysis and rapid resolution for any non-compliance in system performance.
-Work with our Far East Operations team in supporting tool qualification, prototype builds and other launch activities at contract manufacturers in China.
-Initiate and process engineering change requests as needed to resolve deficiencies in released designs, reduce costs and/or improve performance.
-Overseas travel to Asia is likely, two to three times per year.
Desired Skills/Experience
-Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
-3 years minimum experience with 3D CAD, preferably using Pro-E Wildfire 4 or 5.
-Injection molding and plastic part design.
-Material selection, especially with plastics.
-Small mechanism design, especially gears, bearings, wheels, linkages, etc.
-ASME drafting standards and dimensional management methods.
-Design mock-up and rapid prototyping methods, such as Objet, SLA, SLS, FDM, and machine shop usage.
-Experience with consumer product development and Asian manufacturing.
-Mobile robotic platform development.
Desired Traits
-Self motivated to set and meet aggressive goals with minimal supervision.
-Excellent work ethic and attention to detail. Must be very organized.
-Must be able to act as an individual contributor in addition to being a strong team player.
-Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Although you are encouraged to send a traditional résumé, it alone will not make you stand out. In addition to your résumé, please send pictures, videos, or screenshots of your previous projects – both professional and personal. We’re geeks like you, so don’t hold back!
