As a Senior Mechanical Engineer on the Spot Hardware team, you will produce extremely high-quality hardware on groundbreaking robots going out into the world. If you are collaborative, mission-driven, values-focused, and looking to have a positive impact on the world of robotics - this role is for you!
Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, logistics and warehouses.
How you will make an impact:
- Collaborate with other engineers on hard design problems, work across disciplines to understand failure modes and design tests to validate design performance
- Play a sustaining role in the development of existing robotics products
- Troubleshoot issues, root cause failure analysis, design and implement corrective and preventative solutions
- Design and release components and systems using CATIA
- Develop production and support documentation including bills of material (BOMs), assembly drawings, and maintenance instructions.
- Work with manufacturing, suppliers, machinists, contract manufacturers, and logistics to guarantee that the right electromechanical systems are assembled and functional in the right place at the right time.
- Plan and and/or perform verification and validation activities on prototype and production systems.
- Perform system design analyses, including reliability, design-for-manufacture, design-for-assembly, cost-takeout, etc.
Desired skills:
- BSME and minimum 5 years of relevant experience (including MSME/PhD degrees with professional engineering experience)
- Advanced CATIA user or equivalent (NX, Solidworks, etc.), including finite element analysis, 2D drawings, simulations,
- Familiarity with PLM systems, (Arena preferred), and ECO process
- Experience designing motion control systems with sensors, actuators and complex mechanisms
- Experience designing systems that are used in industrial settings
- A working knowledge of ASME drafting standards including GD&T, (Y14.5-2018)
- A working knowledge of DFM/A, Six Sigma, and statistical tolerance analysis
- A working knowledge of structured problem solving methods including 8D and Ishikawa diagrams, (fishbone)
- A working knowledge of failure avoidance methods including DFMEA/PFMEA and fault tree analysis
- Able to manage more than one project concurrently while still meeting deadlines.
- High level of technical writing proficiency (specs, test plans, reports, white papers, etc.)
