Job description

Some jobs aren't just tough - they're brutal. Too toxic. Too remote. Too dangerous for humans to handle. That's where we come in.
At HDT, we build robotic arms and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) with military-grade strength and precision engineering, built for the extremes and adaptable to any challenge. Behind the toughest hardware is a team energized by complex problems. Bring us a challenge, and we'll engineer the solution.
That's the mindset. That's the mission. That's Built for Brutal.
The Senior Mechanical Engineer - Robotics will manage and drive all aspects of design and engineering including requirements analysis, concept generation, mechanical design, implementation, testing, and documentation. The candidate will work on multiple projects of moderate size or on portions of major projects.
The successful candidate will have experience with machine design, sensors, transmissions, electric motors, bearings, kinematic linkages, material selection, structural analysis, people management, as well as hands-on debugging. The Sr. ME- Robotics will have the ability to translate objectives to results and deliverables, while working in a highly-collaborative, multi-disciplinary team environment.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Strong robotics fundamentals (kinematics, dynamics, statics, sensing, etc.)
  • Oversees a team of engineers tracking and reporting progress
  • Knowledge of 3D mechanical CAD design (Solidworks preferred)
  • Managing the design process & drafting of production drawings for machined parts, fabrications and weldments, COTS parts, and assemblies
  • Static and dynamic structural analysis using a variety of tools including both hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA)
  • Understands materials needed to optimize strength, weight, cost, and performance
  • Understands machining and manufacturing processes to optimize cost without sacrificing performance
  • Ability to conceptualize and implement the design of complex mechanisms
  • Performs complex design and research tasks; develops mechanical products and systems such as robots, actuators, instruments, sensors, and overall mechatronic systems
  • Designs a complete project, system, component, or process and preparing complete project documents
  • Designs and conducts experiments, analyzes and interprets data, formulates and solves problems
  • Manages testing efforts
  • Applies risk mitigation
  • Adheres to all quality and safety standards.
  • Supports other projects and performs duties as assigned.
  • Supports, communicates, reinforces and defends the mission, values and culture of the organization.

EXPERIENCE / KNOWLEDGE / SKILLS / ABILITIES :
  • Experience with robotics/mechatronics
  • Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
  • Experience with finite element analysis (FEA). SolidWorks COSMOS or equivalent is sufficient.
  • Experience with sizing actuators i.e. brushless electric motors, including the design of custom motors, and transmissions
  • Experience with strain gages and load cells described
  • Experience with other sensors such as hall-effect, angular position, and temperature sensors
  • Possesses strong computer skills with demonstrated proficiency in standard business software packages (e.g., Microsoft Office). Must possess excellent skills with Microsoft Excel and Word
  • Quality orientation and high attention to detail
  • Must be able to read, speak and understand English
