Job description

Job description

Sorting Robotics Inc. is looking for a robotics Engineer to design, develop, and deploy robotic solutions to manufacturing companies.

This position is a Mid-level position requiring 5-10 years of working experience in the field of robotics, industrial automation, and mechanical engineering.

Do you love getting your hands dirty building things and solving tough problems with practical pragmatic designs? Are you naturally curious about improving processes and machine capabilities?

Preferred: Must be comfortable with cannabis (preferred you enjoy it and have experienced it)- as we manufacture innovations for the legal cannabis market in the US and Canada.

IDEAL CANDIDATE SKILLS

  • Mechanical and Electrical Engineering B.S. with an M.S. in either field.
  • Experience with robotic systems in either a professional or personal setting.
  • Capability to iteratively design using prototyping tools eg. CAD, laser cutter, 3D printing, CNC machines, Eagle PCB.
  • Knowledge of relevant manufacturing processes for production and prototype. Able to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
  • Be able to take initiative on other roles the company needs to succeed.
  • Working knowledge of low level programming for 6DOF arms or other robotic systems.

As you will be working directly with the founder, expect to learn a lot in a short amount of time. This is a "get your hands dirty" technical leadership position. There will be long hours and days where nothing works; but in the end you will be working on multi-million dollar product in a room full of people that appreciate you.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • You will own the designs from cradle to grave and be responsible for their technical success.
  • Initial concept, design, GD&T drawings, assessment of mass, cost, manufacturing feasibility, function, rapid prototyping using 3D printing, etc.
  • Develop parametric design concepts and production designs Optimize the concepts and designs with analytical and physical modelling/simulation
  • Interface with suppliers for manufacturing feasibility, validation, and other engineering activities as specified for the assigned commodity.
  • Help deliver world-class artisanship, fit/finish and support for successful product launch.
  • Assemble and install machines to customers across the nation. Travel is approximately 1-5% of your time.

Requirements

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or similar. Possesses technical knowledge and expertise in robotics, automation, or related field.
  • Has previously worked on an R&D team from concept to delivery.
  • Strong working knowledge of fundamental mechanical engineering knowledge.
