About The Role

Sketch Robotics is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join its product development team. The selected candidate will develop mechanical systems for the company's robotics and automation products, taking designs from initial concept through to a manufacturable, production-ready state.

Key Responsibilities

Convert concepts and functional requirements into complete mechanical designs for robotics, automation, industrial machinery, and custom products.
Design mechanisms, assemblies, structures, and enclosures into production-ready designs.
Prepare 3D models, manufacturing/assembly drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOM) per standard drafting practices.
Select standard components (motors, gearboxes, bearings, linear guides, actuators, etc.) from supplier catalogs, backed by design calculations for sizing and structural strength.
Apply Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/DFA) principles for cost-effective, manufacturable, serviceable designs.
Build, assemble, and test prototypes; incorporate findings into design revisions.




Coordinate with suppliers and fabrication partners on sourcing, quotations, and lead times.
Collaborate with electrical, controls, and software teams to align designs with system requirements.
Maintain design documentation and version control throughout development.

Requirements

Strong fundamentals in machine design, kinematics, and product development.
Ability to visualise and design complete mechanical systems, rather than individual components in isolation.
Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or an equivalent 3D CAD platform.
Good knowledge of manufacturing processes including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, laser cutting, and 3D printing.
Ability to perform design calculations for sizing, structural strength, and load analysis.
Familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and standard drawing conventions.
Solid analytical and problem-solving skills; able to work independently.
