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.

- Valuable 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.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to work independently.

Preferred Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

- 1 years of relevant experience preferred; exceptional freshers will also be considered.

- Prior experience in a hands-on prototyping environment.
