Mechanical Design Engineer – Automation Systems

Mechanical Design Engineer – Automation Systems

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer – Automation Systems to design and develop advanced automated mechanical systems supporting our UAV platforms.

The role requires strong hands-on expertise in mechanism design, electromechanical systems, precision assemblies, automation, outdoor product design, and production engineering .

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop automated mechanical and electromechanical systems for UAV applications.
• Develop precision alignment, positioning, guiding, locking, and retention mechanisms .
• Design automated mechanisms using motors, actuators, lead screws, linear guides, gears, belts, bearings, and sensors .
• Develop structural frames, enclosures, access mechanisms, panels, and moving assemblies.
• Design systems capable of handling variable positioning, mechanical tolerances, repeated operation, and environmental loads .
• Integrate sensors, actuators, electronics, power systems, and mechanical assemblies into a complete product.
• Design for outdoor operation , considering rain, dust, temperature, wind, corrosion, drainage, sealing, and thermal management.
• Perform tolerance stack-up, GD&T, load calculations, mechanism analysis, and design validation.
• Conduct prototype development, mechanism testing, reliability testing, failure analysis, and design optimisation.
• Develop designs from concept → CAD → prototype → testing → production .
• Work closely with UAV, Electronics, Embedded Software, Manufacturing, and Product Development teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor's/Master's degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related Engineering .
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical product design, automation, robotics, industrial machinery, or electromechanical systems.
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent.
• Strong experience designing mechanisms, actuated systems, precision assemblies, and structural components .
• Good understanding of motors, actuators, sensors, bearings, linear motion systems, and electromechanical integration .
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-up, DFM/DFA, sheet metal, CNC machining, welding, and manufacturing processes .
• Experience designing reliable products for outdoor or harsh environments is preferred.
• Strong hands-on prototyping, troubleshooting, and problem-solving ability.
