About the company Our client is a robotics company. The role Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own a mechanical assembly from first concept through analysis, fabrication, assembly and testing on real hardware. Work hands-on across the full build and test cycle, turning test results into improved parts quickly. What you'll do - Take a subassembly and its parts from initial concept through analysis, fabrication, assembly and validation. - Carry out supporting engineering analysis, including hand calculations, tolerance stack-ups, material and fastener selection, and basic finite element analysis. - Model parts in 3D CAD software and prepare them for machining, sheet metal and welding. - Build, assemble and test your own parts on fixtures and on the complete machine. - Revise parts quickly based on test results, often within the same week. - Collaborate with the wider engineering team on whichever priorities matter most at the time. Requirements What we're looking for - A mechanical engineering degree. - Experience designing actuated mechanisms, such as linear actuators, motors and drives, that move accurately and repeatably. - Strong first-principles judgmen
