Job Description
Our areas of activity are Aerospace Defense & Security Big Science Biotechnology and Fintech.
ARQUIMEA Research Center (ARC) part of ARQUIMEA was born in 2019 with the aim of inventing the technologies of tomorrow. An environment of innovation and excellence at European level from which senior and junior researchers from around the world develop disruptive technologies and business models that will serve as an engine of socio-economic growth in the medium and long term.
We are looking for a Mechanical Research Engineer: The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in mechanical design design for manufacturing (DFM) and low to mid-volume production ideally with some knowledge in the field of robotic devices particularly in battery-powered highly-dynamic mobile systems.
Tasks to be performed:
- Design and develop mechanical subsystems for robotic platforms emphasizing performance reliability and manufacturability.
- Apply FEA tools to assess structural integrity fatigue life thermal performance and dynamic behavior (CFD experience is a strong plus).
- Analysis of the SOTA in robotic control algorithms and methods
- Select and validate COTS components for actuation sensing and structural applications.
- Collaborate with electrical and software engineers to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems with sensors actuators and control electronics.
- Lead and support DFM activities including vendor interactions tolerance analysis and production documentation for low to mid-volume manufacturing.
- Build and test prototypes to validate performance and inform design iterations.
- Contribute to design reviews project planning and risk assessments.
- Stay informed about emerging materials manufacturing techniques and robotics trends.
Required skills experience and candidate profile:
- Relevant degree in Mechanical Engineering (MsC/PhD) Mechatronics Robotics or a related field.
- 5 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design for robotics or complex electromechanical systems.
- Defining Requirements at the system level. Understanding the implications of multidisciplinary requirements and monitor progress through conventional tools such as FMEA.
- Demonstrated experience in low to mid-volume manufacturing processes (e.g. CNC machining injection molding 3D printing sheet metal etc.).
- Proficiency with 3D CAD (e.g. SolidWorks Fusion 360 Creo) and FEA tools (e.g. ANSYS COMSOL Abaqus).
- Strong track record in DFM including BOM management tolerance stack-ups and cost-effective design.
- Solid experience in electronics integration including housing design for PCBs wiring connectors and thermal considerations.
- Excellent understanding of mechanical materials and fasteners seals bearings gears and kinematics.
Additionally we will also value experience in the following areas:
- Proven track record of working in a research-oriented environment.
- Experience working with agile methodologies is desired.
- Basic understanding of electronics software and its role/impact in complex systems and the constraints imposed in mechanical devices.
- Data-driven analytical mindset. Open to challenges.
- Detail-oriented person with experience working in agile development environments especially when focused to product hardware development.
- We are also looking for a good person someone who thrives working in multidisciplinary and ever-changing environments.
- Proficient in English
- The candidate must be eligible to work in the EU.
