The candidate takes responsibility for the whole mechanical workflow in the company at the beginning. In the next phase, the candidate is expected to lead the mechanical team.

Collaboration of the candidate within the company follows the below processes:

(1) With CEO/CTO/ Mechanical Team Lead to have input of the Concept, Robotic calculations, Simulation results

(2) With an industrial artist to have input of the robot shell design

(3) With another mechanical engineer in the Production Company to send out the drawing and make sure the components are producible

(4)With control team to give the output model

(5)With the testing and assembly team to verify the design

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Module Assembly

  : Perform precise assembly of mechanical modules for robotic systems, with a focus on small parts ranging from 1-20mm.

• Testing and Analysis

  : Conduct comprehensive testing of assembled modules to identify and analyze mechanical issues.

• Reporting:

  Document and report findings, progress, and issues directly to the Mechanical Lead.

• Quality Control:

  Inspect and verify the quality of incoming commercial and custom-fabricated mechanical parts.

• Tool Management:

  Utilize various mechanical tools and Quality Control (QC) tools effectively and safely.

• Documentation:

  Create and maintain Assembly, Quality Control (QC), and Instruction documents.

Expected qualification and background of the candidate

• Education:

  Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering, higher education of a high ranking university

• Experience of running and/or programming a modern CNC machine for more than 3 years
