Senior Mechanical Engineer – LATAM

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Mexico, +5 more countries.

📋 Description

• Create compact, high-performance rotary and linear actuators utilizing harmonic or strain-wave, planetary, cycloidal, and innovative drive architectures.

• Manage actuator and precision-drive designs from initial concept development through prototyping, validation, production readiness, and customer integration.

• Apply first-principles engineering, kinematics, statics, dynamics, and materials expertise to make informed decisions regarding architecture and design.

• Assess competing concepts through analytical calculations, engineering trade studies, simulations, and physical testing.

• Construct and enhance prototypes to boost torque density, efficiency, durability, manufacturability, packaging, and overall system performance.

• Collaborate with materials and manufacturing engineers to integrate advanced materials and fabrication methods into functional mechanical designs.

• Work closely with customer engineering teams to ensure drive systems fulfill mechanical, electrical, packaging, and control-interface specifications.

• Generate comprehensive CAD models, engineering drawings, bills of materials, assembly documentation, and other necessary information for manufacturing and integrating designs.

• Develop and carry out verification tests, analyze test data, identify root causes, and refine designs based on real-world performance outcomes.

• Engage in technical design reviews and assist with design verification and integration tasks through successful deployment.
