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.
Robust experience designing mechanisms, actuated systems, precision assemblies, and structural components.
Positive 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.
Robust hands-on prototyping, troubleshooting, and problem-solving ability.
