Electro-Mechanical Engineer

Job Description

**Job Title:** Electro-Mechanical Engineer

**Location:** Redwood City

**Role Summary:** As an Electro-Mechanical Engineer at Dexterity, you will take a hands-on role in optimizing and refining our robotic systems. Working in our robotics lab, you will prototype, build, and test electro-mechanical solutions, directly contributing to the troubleshooting, validation, and optimization of our systems. You will collaborate closely with hardware, software, and controls engineers to ensure reliable, scalable, and manufacturable designs.

**Key Responsibilities:**

* **Hands-On Prototyping \& Testing:** Build and iterate on robotic solutions, conducting hands-on debugging, troubleshooting, and performance testing. Develop and execute test plans for component and system-level validation.
* **Lab \& Field Testing:** Conduct experiments in lab and real-world environments, using diagnostic tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, etc.) to analyze performance and improve designs.
* **Electro-Mechanical System Integration \& Debugging:** Work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical and electrical systems seamlessly. Identify and resolve system-level issues through hands-on troubleshooting and design improvements.
* **Manufacturing Support:** Provide design feedback to optimize manufacturability (DFM/DFA) and collaborate with the design and the Global Services teams to ensure smooth production and deployment of the robotic solutions.
* **Technical Documentation:** Maintain clear documentation of test results, troubleshooting procedures, and modifications for seamless knowledge transfer.

**Qualifications:**

* **Education:** Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
* **Experience:**7 years of hands-on experience as an Engineering Technician or Electro-Mechanical engineer in electro-mechanical systems, preferably in robotics, automation, or related fields. Experience with high-volume manufacturing is a plus.
* **Technical Skills:** Proficiency with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, NX) and electrical schematic design tools.Experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, and multimeters for debugging and validation.Strong problem-solving skills with a proactive, hands-on approach to troubleshooting.
* **Interpersonal Skills:** Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Strong communication skills for effective cross-functional collaboration.

**Nice to Have:**

* Familiarity with robotics control systems and sensors
* Experience with PLCs and embedded systems
* Knowledge of safety standards in electro-mechanical design
