| Location / Department | HQ / Design for Production Group (DPG) |
| Job Overview |
Mission: We design and manufacture advanced robotic systems for remote inspection and maintenance in hazardous industrial environments. Our robots combine precision mechanical systems, embedded electronics, actuators, sensing technologies, and software to enable operators to perform complex inspection and maintenance tasks from a safe distance. Our systems are currently being deployed worldwide in customer trials and commercial inspection projects. Help design robotic systems that remove people from hazardous inspection and maintenance work. Join a product design team transforming advanced robotic concepts into reliable production-ready products. Current development programs include: - Long-reach modular robotic manipulators (up to 5 m long with nine articulated joints) for positioning NDT sensors on valuable industrial assets. - Robotic inspection systems that propel sensors through small-diameter, multi-bend boiler tubes using water propulsion. - Overhead powerline robotic crawler for inspection and installation of air traffic warning spheres We are a small, fast-moving product development team where engineers take ownership of complete subsystems and work closely across mechanical, electrical, software and manufacturing disciplines. Strong communication, initiative and sound engineering judgement are essential. Senior mechanical engineers are expected to independently lead the design of major subsystems while helping define engineering processes and technical direction. What We Offer: - International engineering environment - Flat organizational structure with rapid decision-making - Continuous opportunities for professional growth and skill development by collaborating with a highly skilled team - Direct exposure to full-stack robotics (ME, EE, FW, SW, Manufacturing, & Operations) - Opportunity to own complete robotic subsystems from concept through production and deployment - A transparent work culture where challenging the status quo isn't just allowed—it's expected. |
| Key Responsibilities |
- Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for new and existing robotic products. - Support mechanical subsystems throughout design, manufacturing, assembly, testing and deployment. - Evaluate engineering trade-offs involving performance, manufacturability, reliability and cost. - Produce production-ready CAD models, drawings and documentation. - Work closely with electrical, software, firmware, manufacturing and operations teams. - Participate in design reviews and technical discussions. - Contribute to improving engineering processes and product development workflows. |
| Required Qualifications and Skills |
Minimum Qualifications: - Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. - Experience: 3+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience. - CAD Expertise: Strong proficiency using modern parametric CAD software (Onshape experience is a plus). Core Technical Qualifications: - Experience designing mechanical parts and assemblies for manufactured products. - Experience selecting and integrating commercial off-the-shelf components. - Experience creating production drawings and manufacturing documentation. - Practical understanding of GD&T and mechanical tolerancing. - Familiarity with structured engineering documentation and design review processes. |
| Language proficiency |
Professional working proficiency in English, sufficient to communicate fluently in a technical, international environment. Conversational Japanese is desirable for day-to-day internal communication. Basic Japanese reading and writing is helpful but not required. |
| Preferred Qualifications |
- Experience in industrial robotics, automation equipment, precision machinery, automotive, aerospace or related industries. - Experience supporting manufacturing, assembly or product testing. - Familiarity with engineering change management or PLM systems. - Ability to understand interactions between mechanical, electrical and software systems. - Experience in one or more of the following is a plus: - Metal additive manufacturing - Structural thermal or fluid simulation - Adhesive bonding - Welding - Composites - Gear design - Reverse engineering - Environmental sealing and waterproof design |
| Personal Attributes |
What makes someone successful on our team: - Takes ownership of assigned work and follows it through to completion. - Solves problems using structured engineering thinking. - Communicates openly and collaborates across disciplines. - Is curious, asks questions, and challenges assumptions respectfully. - Wants to continuously improve their technical knowledge and engineering skills. - Looks for opportunities to improve products, documentation and engineering processes. - Enjoys working in a hands-on product development environment. |
| Note | We will do background checks on past experiences. |
