Job description

Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Mechatronics Engineer with a strong background in designing and building complex electromechanical systems. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience integrating mechanical, electrical, and software components into cohesive, high-performance systems. Bonus points for expertise in precision motion systems and industrial control systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and test complex electromechanical systems from concept through to production.
  • Integrate mechanical structures with sensors, actuators, embedded systems, and control logic.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
  • Develop detailed design documentation including schematics, wiring diagrams, and BOMs.
  • Optimize system performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
  • Implement and debug industrial automation systems, including PLCs and HMI interfaces.
  • Develop and tune precision motion systems using servo motors, linear stages, encoders, and motion controllers.
  • Support prototype assembly, testing, and iteration in the lab.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis and troubleshoot system-level issues.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant safety, regulatory, and industry standards.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in designing and building integrated electromechanical systems.
  • Strong understanding of mechanical design, electrical systems, and embedded control.
  • Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and circuit design software (e.g., Altium, Eagle).
  • Familiarity with motion control systems, including servo/stepper motors and motion controllers.
  • Experience with PLC programming, industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, EtherCAT).
  • Strong problem-solving and prototyping skills.
Preferred Qualifications (Bonus Points)
  • Experience with precision automation, robotics, or CNC systems.
  • Hands-on knowledge of system dynamics, control theory, and tuning PID loops.
  • Exposure to MATLAB/Simulink or other modeling tools.
  • Experience in high-reliability or regulated industries (e.g., medical, aerospace, semiconductor).
