Serve as the technical reference for design, analysis, and standards, guaranteeing high-quality deliverables and customer satisfaction.

• Main Responsibilities

• Design and develop fully integrated robotic cells using SolidWorks and CATIA (layouts, tooling, fixtures, structures, conveyors, automated and manual stations).
• Create and review 3D models, assemblies, and 2D drawings with correct application of GD&T.
• Perform validations through structural and modal analysis (FEM/FEA).
• Select materials, mechanical components, pneumatic equipment, and commercial elements required for the project.
• Define and review interfaces according to NAAMS standards.
• Evaluate manufacturability, ergonomics, access, and maintainability of designs.
• Generate BOMs, technical specifications, and complete project documentation.
• Robotics / Automation
• Conduct robotic studies: reach analysis, quadrants, singularities, loads (RobotLoad), cycle time, interference analysis.
• Collaborate closely with robot integrators and programmers.
• Preferred: experience with RobotStudio for trajectory validation, reach and cycle-time studies.
• Project Management & Technical Leadership
• Assume responsibility for the complete mechanical design of the project.
• Delegate tasks and review work from Junior and Intermediate designers.
• Develop, audit, and technically support fabrication suppliers.
• Review manufacturing processes, assembly, and quality of tooling and structures.
• Provide technical support during FAT, SAT, and on-site installation.
• Maintain direct communication with customers, supporting reviews, technical meetings, and design changes.
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams.
• Maintain an attitude of continuous self-development.
• Actively seek to improve design quality, reduce risks, and ensure customer satisfaction.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electromechanical Engineering, or related fields.
