TL;DR · Mechanical Engineer

The Mechanical Engineer - NREC joins the National Robotics Engineering Center to design, build, and deploy sophisticated robotic solutions for industrial, commercial, and government sectors. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will lead the development of electromechanical systems from conceptualization through prototype validation. Daily responsibilities include performing modeling, analysis, and simulation, developing CAD models and drawings, and conducting light fabrication and subsystem integration. You will also formulate system tests, document reports, and interact with customers and vendors. Required skills include 3D modeling in SolidWorks, and preferred expertise includes Finite Element Analysis with ANSYS, CNC milling, laser cutting, 3D printing, and programming in Python or Arduino. This role addresses complex technical problems in agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and military or defense applications.

What you'll do

  • Research, design, develop, and test electromechanical systems for robotic applications.
  • Apply the engineering design process from initial conceptualization to prototype development and validation.
  • Perform modeling, analysis, and simulation of electromechanical systems.
  • Develop CAD models and drawings of electromechanical assemblies and systems.
  • Perform light fabrication, subsystem assembly, and integration of subsystems.
  • Formulate and perform electromechanical system tests and document all test reports.
  • Travel to support field experiments and off-site test programs.
  • Interact with customers and coordinate with subcontractors and technology vendors.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Minimum 3-5 years of related experience in engineering.
  • Proven track record in developing mechanical systems.
  • Effective organizational, planning, and analytical skills.
  • Independent judgment and problem-solving abilities.
  • 3D modeling experience (SolidWorks preferred).
  • Experience with Finite Element Analysis with ANSYS and/or SolidWorks Simulation (preferred).
  • Experience with manufacturing using CNC mill and lathe, laser cutters, and 3D printers (preferred).
