• Modeling parts and assemblies in CAD and creating design documents (Assembly Drawings, SOPs, MTBF reports, etc.)
• Debug, improve, and/or redesign existing robotic systems as well as perform hardware or software fixes as necessary
• Work in machine shop or with third-party shops to rapidly prototype using 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC machines
• Prototype electronics quickly using ATMEGA/Arduino microcontrollers or other open-source hardware
• Develop firmware for robotic hardware and control systems, motors, drives and actuator controllers, sensor systems, and self-monitoring control systems
• Communicate with various vendors for materials and part sourcing

Qualifications:

• BS, MS or PhD in mechatronics, electrical, mechanical engineering, or related field
• Proficiency with SolidWorks CAD or similar MCAD, Electronic CAD, CAM software, Solid modeling, Surface modeling, fabrication drawings, 2D drawings, and GD&T
• Experience building prototypes such as machining, mechanical assembly, electromechanical integration, soldering, etc.
• Knowledge of ROS, Python, Arduino, C++, or firmware programming
• Hands-on fabrication or machine-shop experience with tools such as CNC mill, CNC lathe/router, 3D printer, laser-cutting machines

About the Position:

This is a full time position with competitive salary and health, vision, dental and life insurance benefits that are fully covered by Genista with no out-of-pocket expenses. Additional perks include gym membership, free on-site lunch, paid vacation, and a casual working environment.
