Senior Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer
LOCATION - Atlanta, GA (Remote/Onsite)
ENGAGEMENT: Contract,1 year extendable
CONTRACT TYPE :W2 or C2C

ROLE OVERVIEW
Senior mechanical engineering role with end-to-end ownership of complex mechanical and electromechanical systems from
concept through production, reliability, manufacturing readiness, and sustaining engineering.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
 Lead the design and development of mechanical and electromechanical systems from concept through architecture, CAD design, prototyping, validation, and production release.
 Own subsystem architecture, component strategy, and technical trade-offs balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.
 Design structural components, mechanisms, drive systems, robotic assemblies, and other electromechanical systems.
 Lead root-cause investigations of design, manufacturing, reliability, and field-performance issues.
 Perform and guide FEA, fatigue analysis, tolerance stack-ups, dynamic analysis, vibration assessments, and design verification.
 Drive DFM, DFA, DFR, and DFx activities with suppliers and manufacturing partners.
 Own prototype builds, engineering validation testing, pilot builds, and production launch activities.
 Partner with electrical, firmware, software, controls, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams for successful product integration.
 Define and execute functional, environmental, vibration, fatigue, wear, and life-cycle testing.
 Support supplier development, component qualification, manufacturing readiness, and continuous product improvement.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
 9+ years of experience in mechanical engineering and product development of complex mechanical or electromechanical systems.
 Experience leading products from concept through validation, production launch, and sustaining engineering.
 Strong proficiency with 3D CAD, FEA, FMEA, PLM systems, and engineering documentation practices.
 Experience designing mechanisms and electromechanical systems using motors, gear trains, bearings, belt drives, actuators,
sensors, and power transmission components.
 Strong understanding of dynamics, kinematics, fatigue, wear, vibration, and reliability engineering.
 Experience with GD&T, tolerance analysis, stack-ups, structural/modal/dynamic analysis, and design verification.
 Experience selecting materials and manufacturing processes for high-volume products including sheet metal, aluminum
extrusions, castings, machined components, and injection-molded plastics.
 Strong understanding of DFM, DFA, DFR, and Design for Cost.
 Experience with global suppliers/contract manufacturers, requirements development, interface management, risk assessment,
system-level trade studies, and technical leadership.
 Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field; relevant experience may substitute
for formal education.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
 Experience developing robotics, automation equipment, autonomous systems, material handling equipment, or industrial
machinery.
 Experience with warehouse automation, ASRS systems, or automated fulfillment technologies.
 Experience with reliability growth testing, accelerated life testing, and field-performance analysis.
 Experience in cross-functional product development spanning mechanical, electrical, controls, and software disciplines.
 Experience with automated warehouse products.
