Senior Mechanical Engineer, Robotics

At IUNU (“you knew”), we're amplifying the ability of growers to produce the highest quality greenhouse crops by leveraging robotics, computer vision, and AI.

Our LUNA system is deployed at greenhouses in more than 15 countries, providing critical information like yield forecasts, pest detection and germination rates to growers on mobile and web platforms.

By increasing yield and reducing waste, we're building a sustainable future full of delicious vegetables!

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer in Robotics at IUNU, you will design, develop, and improve robotic systems that operate with a high degree of reliability in the challenging environment of a greenhouse.

You possess an in-depth understanding of mechanical system design for harsh industrial environments such as IP67 waterproofing, high thermal loads in varying ambient temperatures, and significant vibration exposure.

You combine your technical abilities with leadership skills to establish high standards of reliability and accountability for our fleet in the field, and you have experience maintaining those standards in production.

Your curiosity and passion for engineering drive you to work cross-functionally, fostering a collegial and collaborative engineering culture.

Responsibilities :

• Design, develop, and improve IUNU robotic systems and deployments across multiple product lines Establish a high standard for the mechanical components of our robots and hardware installations with a focus on reliability, safety, and consistency Maintain system design schematics for production and prototype robots, and develop documentation for assembly and deployment Identify and manage opportunities to improve manufacturing (in-house and contracted) with respect to cost, timeliness, and quality, making the appropriate recommendations and tradeoffs as necessary Manage the complete lifecycle of engineering documentation, including authoring and maintaining precise engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and build processes, while driving quality improvements through the rigorous execution and approval of Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) Work closely with electrical, firmware, application, and other mechanical engineers to efficiently size, groom, and prioritize work items in an Agile environment Excel in high-pressure situations, providing immediate troubleshooting and triage for urgent production, field, and manufacturing problems against tight, mission-critical deadlines.

Participate in accelerated testing of components for determining MTBF, lifespan, maintenance cycles and the associated acceptance criteria based upon business needs Open to travel 10% Requirements :

Solid understanding and application of principles, concepts, theories, and techniques in mechanical engineering Experience converting non-technical inputs into objectively verifiable engineering requirements that create a product that delights the customer Ability to quickly turn a finalized design into a physical prototype by producing engineering drawings, sourcing suppliers, working through procurement challenges, and leading final assembly on compressed timelines Ability to write clear and comprehensive technical documentation and assembly instructions  Detail-oriented with excellent critical thinking, communication, time management skills and multitasking abilities.  Data-driven problem-solving skills to troubleshoot, triage, and fix mechanical, electrical, and software issues within production, design, and manufacturing Desired :

Diversity :

Diversity is important, and we strongly encourage people of all identities and backgrounds to confidently apply for a job with us if this is a role that interests and excites you.
