Mechanical Engineer Position
Dexmate is at the forefront of developing advanced robotic systems that solve real-world challenges. We're building next-generation robots designed to work alongside humans, operate in human environments, and help address growing labor shortages.
We are seeking talented Mechanical Engineers to join our dynamic team and contribute to the design, development, and implementation of key hardware components for our robotic systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles, hands-on experience with prototyping, and passion for creating elegant mechanical solutions for complex challenges.
Responsibilities
- Design complex mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD software
- Develop, test, and validate prototypes to verify design concepts and functionality
- Create detailed engineering drawings
- Perform engineering analysis (FEA, MATLAB) to optimize designs for strength, weight, and durability
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, software, systems) to integrate mechanical components
- Work with manufacturing partners to ensure designs are manufacturable and meet quality standards
- Build and test mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and test equipment
- Document designs, test procedures, and design processes thoroughly
