Job Summary
Job Title: Mechanical Design Engineer
Location: Singapore
Job Type: Full-time
About the Opportunity
Our client is a cutting-edge robotics startup developing a next-generation general-purpose humanoid robot. They are seeking their founding Mechanical Design Engineer to take a pivotal hands-on role in bringing this vision to life.
This is a high-ownership individual contributor role where you will be responsible for the entire mechanical design lifecycle. You will own the conception CAD modeling and industrialization of core robotic components. Youll translate early concepts into robust production-ready designs guide prototype builds and partner with suppliers to ramp tooling and volume manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Concept & CAD Modeling: Lead the conceptual and detailed 3D CAD modeling of all mechanical components including complex parts (e.g. plastics sheet-metal die-cast) and multi-body assemblies. CATIA is the primary tool.
- Engineering Analysis: Perform advanced analysis including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) (stress thermal modal) and kinematic simulations to validate stiffness strength and lifetime requirements.
- Prototyping & Iteration: Drive rapid prototyping cycles overseeing 3D printing CNC machining and hands-on fit-check assemblies to quickly test and iterate on designs.
- Production & DFM: Lead Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews with contract manufacturers and tooling partners. Refine designs to optimize for cost cycle time and quality at scale.
- 2D Documentation: Create and own all production-ready 2D engineering drawings including the precise application of GD&T and critical inspection call-outs for quality assurance.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work daily with electrical firmware and validation teams to seamlessly integrate mechanical systems with sensors wiring harnesses and PCBA enclosures.
- Test & Validation: Define mechanical test protocols analyze failure modes (FMEA) and iterate on designs based on rigorous test data and reliability metrics.
Required Qualifications (Must-Haves)
- Education: Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering Industrial Design or a related field.
- Experience: A minimum of 3 years of hands-on mechanical design experience for high-complexity electromechanical products (e.g. robotics aerospace automotive complex consumer electronics).
- CAD Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in CATIA (V5/V6) for both detailed part modeling and large multi-body assembly management.
- Manufacturing Processes: A proven track record of designing parts for mass production using plastic injection molding sheet-metal fabrication and die-casting.
- Technical Fundamentals: Deep practical knowledge of GD&T and the creation of formal 2D manufacturing drawings.
- Analysis: Hands-on experience running FEA simulations and using the results to make critical data-driven design decisions.
- Communication: Excellent communication skills with the ability to drive alignment with external suppliers internal engineering teams and leadership.
Preferred Skills (Nice-to-Have)
- Scripting or automation skills in Python (to streamline CAD tasks or data analysis).
- Familiarity with MATLAB for system-level modeling or tolerance stack-ups.
- Prior experience in robotics automation or wearable systems where tight tolerances and ergonomics are critical.
- Deep knowledge of plastics engineering (material selection shrinkage property optimization).
- Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping tools (3D printers laser cutters CNC mills).
