- Ability to produce detailed engineering drawings using ANSI Y14.5 GD&T standards
- Weldment design and documentation per AWS D1.1, D1.2, or equivalent standards
- Experience with finite element analysis (FEA), including stress, safety margins, buckling, and modal analysis
- Design experience with machine elements (bearings, fasteners, gears, gearboxes, motors, etc.)
- Understanding of closed-loop servo systems and motion control optimization
- Knowledge of classical statics and strength of materials
- Familiarity with precision machining and welding processes
- Proven experience developing complex products and systems
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools
- Must have legal authorization to work in the United States and eligibility to access export-controlled technical information
- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (approximately 30%)
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
- Experience developing complex mechanical systems and products
- Hands-on experience with machine assembly and on-site system installation
