Job Description

Mechanical Engineer - Robotics

Location:

Chennai to Chennai only

Notice Period:

Serving / Immediate joiners preferred

Requirements

Mechanical design of robotic systems and mechanisms Understanding of kinematics, joints, degrees of freedom (DOF), and force/torque transmission Basic application of statics and dynamics to moving mechanisms

Knowledge of actuators:

DC motors, BLDC motors, stepper motors Gearboxes (planetary, spur, worm), gear ratios, backlash, efficiency Experience designing mechanical subsystems: Frames, brackets, mounts, joints, linkages Belt, pulley, chain, lead screw, rack-and-pinion mechanisms Understanding of bearings, shafts, couplings, fasteners, and standard mechanical components Knowledge of tolerances, fits, and GD&T basics Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings) Ability to create manufacturing-ready drawings and BOMs Exposure to Blender for visualization or complex surfaces is a bonus

Prototyping and fabrication experience:

3D printing (FDM / SLA) for rapid prototyping Basic material knowledge (plastics and metals) Hands-on assembly and rework Basic understanding of manufacturing processes: CNC machining, laser cutting, sheet metal, injection molding Design for manufacturability (DFM)

Exposure to simulation tools:

ADAMS, MATLAB, or equivalent for motion or load analysis Ability to read datasheets, vendor drawings, and mechanical standards Clear documentation of designs, revisions, and test outcomes Comfortable working in a multidisciplinary robotics team

Good to Have

Hands-on experience with robotics projects (academic, personal, or competition-based) Basic understanding of control systems and actuator feedback Familiarity with version control or design revision workflows Exposure to low-volume or scaled-up manufacturing Understanding of electrical and sensor integration constraints

What You'll Work On

Designing mechanical subsystems for robotic platforms, manipulators, and mechanisms Converting system requirements into CAD models, assemblies, and drawings Designing and iterating on joints, linkages, mounts, frames, and enclosures Selecting and integrating motors, gearboxes, bearings, shafts, and fasteners Performing force, torque, and motion calculations to validate designs Prototyping parts using 3D printing and assembling mechanical systems Supporting mechanical testing, fit checks, and design validation Iterating designs based on test results, failures, and integration feedback Collaborating with electrical and software teams for actuator and sensor integration Preparing manufacturing drawings and BOMs for fabrication Assisting in transitioning designs from prototype to low-volume manufacturing Documenting design decisions, revisions, and lessons learned
