Job Description
Mechanical Design Engineer at Unbox Robotics
Roles & Responsibilities
- Design robots and peripheral structures across the full product range, from POC through production and sustaining phases, in alignment with cross-functional engineering teams
- Perform aggregate calculations and select appropriate components and materials
- Create accurate CAD part and assembly models and drawings, including tolerance stack-up analysis where needed
- Conduct structural analysis and multibody dynamics simulations to validate designs against performance, safety, and reliability targets; define correct FEA inputs and interpret results to guide design decisions
- Develop test cases, set up test environments, execute tests, and prepare detailed test reports
- Based on test outcomes, identify improvement areas, propose design modifications, and plan iterations or further testing until requirements are met
- Communicate design intent to vendors using 3D CAD, 2D drawings, GD&T, and engineering specifications, applying DFM and DFA principles
- Work with vendors and suppliers to develop and scale components to specification
- Collaborate with embedded, controls, and software teams for seamless integration, and with operations teams on sourcing, QC, assembly, and delivery
- Develop and maintain BoMs, SOPs, release notes, change records, and validation reports
- Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical issues across prototypes, production, and field returns
Requirements
- Strong capability in aggregate calculations and first-principles problem-solving on complex mechanical challenges
- Expertise in CAD, preferably Solid Edge, producing accurate, high-quality models efficiently
- Deep knowledge of GD&T and proficiency in tolerance stack-up analysis
- Hands-on structural analysis and multibody dynamics experience with tools such as Ansys and Adams
- Strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, casting, and welding across multiple materials, and their impact on design decisions
- Hands-on experience designing primary structures, mechanisms, jigs, and fixtures
- Working knowledge of solid mechanics, load cases, and failure mechanisms
- Proven experience producing detailed documentation (BoMs, SOPs, test reports, change records)
- Familiarity with Design Thinking principles for ideation, problem-solving, and product design
- Strong written and verbal communication and the ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholder teams
Good to Have
