About the Role

The Senior Mechatronics Engineer works across mechanical, electrical, and controls domains. You own the electromechanical architecture: defining how machines achieve the motion they need, selecting and sizing actuators and sensors, designing pneumatic circuits, building wiring harnesses, and testing cross-domain systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the electromechanical architecture; define motion strategies and make trade-off decisions
• Select and size motors, actuators, gearboxes, drives, encoders, and pneumatic components
• Design end-effectors, grippers, and tooling with integrated actuation and sensing
• Design and build physical wiring harnesses; produce wiring schematics
• Produce 3D models, detailed drawings with GD&T, and BOMs for electromechanical subsystems
• Lead testing and debug for all systems you designed
• Support installation, commissioning, and field issues at customer sites
• Set electromechanical design standards and mentor junior engineers

Requirements

• BS in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Robotics, or Electrical Engineering or equivalent
• 5+ years designing and building electromechanical systems or automation equipment
• Strong 3D CAD skills (SolidWorks preferred), GD&T, and tolerance stack-up
• Experience selecting motion components and designing pneumatic systems
• Hands-on wiring experience; experience selecting and integrating sensors
• Must be on-site; comfortable in a working shop
