  • Leadership background overseeing all phases of product development
  • Deep technical expertise in electromechanical components (motors, actuators, gear systems) and industrial sensors
  • Skilled in FEA (static, fatigue, and dynamic analysis), GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and 3D CAD (Onshape preferred)
  • Proficient in designing pneumatic/hydraulic systems and integrating industrial controls architectures
  • Strong communicator with a hands-on mindset and collaborative approach

Nice to have:

  • Advanced skills in system dynamics, vibration, modal, or kinematic simulation
  • Industrial tooling/custom machinery design experience
  • MATLAB or Python skills for engineering analysis
  • Experience developing robust documentation processes (BOM, CAD management, part numbering)
  • Startup, new-product launch, or multidisciplinary project experience
What we offer:
  • Direct influence over core technology and rapid product deployment cycles
  • Collaborative and transparent culture. Your technical expertise is recognized and highly valued
  • Flexible, high-trust work environment with unique perks
  • Opportunity to leave your mark at the forefront of industrial automation innovation
