At this pivotal point in company growth, RISETM is looking for a passionate and team-oriented Senior Mechanical Engineer to join us in shaping the future of heavy duty linear actuation and heavy machinery. Your end-to-end engagement will include product development from concept through detailed design and prototype testing to progress new projects through the engineering lifecycle. You will play a key role in launching the next generation RISETM hardware, from demonstration proof of concepts through product design.

In This Role You Will:

• Develop proof-of-concept demonstration systems from requirements definition, concept design, engineering, analysis, through prototype testing and product demonstration stages prior to detailed engineering handoff.
• Progress mechanical systems through design gates via trade off studies, analysis, and design reviews.
• Direct activities to solve complex design and manufacturing challenges; support cost reduction and yield improvement efforts; and invent and commercialize new technologies.
• Plan and perform statistical analyses to characterize process and design interactions.
• Generate best practices guidelines and documentation to enable efficiencies in future hardware development and launch activities.
• Drive clear and accurate communications and recommendations to peers and senior management by distilling complex technical challenges, outlining options, and providing supporting data.
• Occasionally travel to domestic OEM partners, with small potential for overseas travel.

Requirements

• 5+ years experience as either a Mechanical Design Engineer or similar role, directly contributing to R&D or Product Development involving complex, electro-mechanical system development and integration.
• Proven technical aptitude and experience with electro-mechanical design and related manufacturing processes. Some examples might include: Complex mechanical assemblies; Rotating machinery; Tolerance Studies; Design for assembly / manufacturing; EE and ME component and material selection; FMEA, Design for life.
• Experience with fabrication processes, such as metal forming & CNC, injection molding, adhesives, composites, and complex mechanisms.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 GD&T.
• Proficiency with 3D design tools like SolidWorks and other CAD suites. Knowledge about CAD design best practices, (eg. master modeling vs incontext design etc.). SolidWorks knowledge is a plus but not required if demonstrated an ability for rapid software onboarding.
• Knowledge and demonstrated experience with FEA analysis and verification of results.
• Proven troubleshooting skills and structured problem-solving approach; Experience leveraging manufacturing data to identify design and assembly issues and subsequently drive continuous quality.
• Working knowledge of bearings, linear guides, electric motors and drive train and rotating machinery component selection
• Some programming experience in Python, MATLAB, LabView or other data acquisition and testing experience
• Understanding of FEA for linear and nonlinear materials and experience with exploring the design space via parameter optimization
• Experience working cross-functionally in a dynamic, high tech, startup environment
• Experience with lifecycle testing
• Hands-on experience with CNC, mills, lathes, drill presses, etc.
• At least a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.

Benefits
