- Proven experience in designing, developing, testing, and launching hardware and mechatronics solutions in collaborative and cross-functional environments, including at least two years of leadership in engineering design projects.
- Proven track record in creating successful mechatronics and fluidic solutions to technical problems.
- Experience with various manufacturing and fabrication methods (machining, sheet metal forming, moulding, 3D printing).
- Strong understanding of core mechanical engineering principles (material selection, GD&T, fluid mechanics).
- Experience designing low-pressure pneumatic and hydraulic systems, and linear and rotating mechanical systems.
- Clear communication with external partners for rapid and cost-effective delivery of materials and components.
- Exceptional oral and written communication skills.
- Hardworking and excited to contribute to the company's mission.
