Title:
Principal Mechanical Engineer
Job Type:
Full-Time
Target Start Date:
ASAP
Work Location/Structure:
Hybrid (Onsite in Bedford, MA, 4-5 days/week to start, with flexibility to 3 days/week later)
About the Opportunity:
Our client, a global leader in cutting-edge robotics and electric motor technology, is looking for a skilled Principal Mechanical Engineer
to join their team. This project involves
developing the next generation of robotic products that are integral to the production of advanced semiconductor chips and high-performance electric motor applications. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
- Develop robotic and other electromechanical systems, including feasibility studies, design analysis, mechanical models, prototype construction, and product introduction.
- Analyze mechanical systems and machine elements for life, stress, and deflection using related software tools, such as FEA.
- Create mechanical part models, assemblies, drawings, and bills of materials using 3D CAD software.
- Lead hands-on activities to build and test prototype mechanical assemblies and conduct troubleshooting to resolve root causes of problems in mechanical systems.
- Document and present designs and analysis results for review to a technical audience.
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
- 10+ years of experience in a mechanical engineering role.
- Deep expertise in mechanical design of machine elements and mechanisms (preferably precision mechanisms) and a strong BS in Mechanical Engineering (MS is a plus). This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
- Experience in engineering precision robotics or mechanisms in the Semiconductor industry or designing ultra-high vacuum (UHV) capital equipment.
- Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team and to document/present technical designs.
