Qualifications

An Associate's Degree in mechanical design and a minimum of six years related experience. Must have proven experience in the engineer-to-order machinery / robotic industry (i.e. construct, manufacturing, assembling, designing outdoor robotic systems). While the position is for mechanical design in nature, a basic knowledge of electrical components and systems is required.

Work you’ll do
