Robotics Design Engineer

Position Summary
The Robotics Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing robotic systems from concept through production. This role blends mechanical design, electronics integration, and collaboration with software and controls teams to create reliable, manufacturable, and high-performance robotic solutions.

Job Functions, Responsibilities & Authorities

• Design inline inspection tools and robotic systems from concept through detailed design and production release.
• Conduct analyses using FEM/CAE tools (including ANSYS) to validate performance, strength, and reliability.
• Execute component and material selection based on mechanical performance, environmental conditions, and lifecycle requirements.
• Develop complete engineering documentation including manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, specifications, and technical reports.
• Support prototype fabrication, functional testing, qualification, and iterative design improvements.
• Define and prepare assembly procedures and maintenance documentation.
• Support production startup, root-cause failure analysis, and continuous design optimization
• Ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards, codes, and regulatory requirements.

Skills/Experience

• Bachelor s degree in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering.
• Minimum 8 years experience in mechanical and/or robotic system design using SOLIDWORKS.
• Proficient in detailed mechanical design, 2D/3D drawings, BOM preparation, design calculations, computer simulations, validation, and optimization.
• Strong experience in ANSYS for structural, thermal, and mechanical analyses.
• Experience in the design and analysis of pigging tools, pipeline inspection crawlers, robotic inspection mechanisms, and in-pipe mobility systems is highly desirable.
• Strong exposure to design for manufacture (DFM/DFA) and production engineering environments.
