Mechanical Engineer, Sensing & Mobile Welding Robotics
On-site · Columbus, Ohio, United States
Job Summary
Design and develop mechanical assemblies for mobile robotic welding platforms, including sensor integration, structural components and systems, motion systems, and tooling interfaces. Own designs from concept through fabrication, assembly, and field validation — iterating based on test results and real-world feedback. Collaborate within a cross-functional team of mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineers to integrate sensing hardware (cameras, LiDAR, proximity sensors) into compact, robust mechanical packages. Apply design-for-manufacturing principles across machining, sheet metal enclosures, and additive/3D-printed parts. Create and maintain detailed CAD models, assemblies, drawings, and BOMs in SolidWorks, managed through PDM. Participate in design reviews and contribute to engineering decisions with tradeoffs between performance, cost, and manufacturability. Work with fabrication vendors and internal shop resources to turn drawings into parts — fast. Support root cause analysis and design improvements driven by field findings and reliability data.
Required Qualifications
- 3–6 years of mechanical engineering experience in a product development or hardware engineering environment
- Proficiency in SolidWorks for multi-body and multi-component assemblies
- Hands-on use of PDM for version control and release workflows
- Solid command of engineering drawing standards and GD&T
- Experience designing for multiple manufacturing methods (machining, sheet metal, additive manufacturing)
- Ability to read and reason about mechanical interfaces in electromechanical systems
