Electro-Mechanical Engineer
Location: Apex, NC     

Job Description

• Reporting directly to the Electro-Mechanical Design Group Leader, the Electro-Mechanical Engineer researches, plans, designs, develops and tests electro-mechanical assemblies that are part of larger robotic end effectors. This person will work closely with other mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and other cross-functional partners to development new products through prototyping, verification and production release.
• • Use engineering principles to design and modify robotic end effectors and tools. You will work with other engineers, designers and Manufacturing personnel to complete design projects. You will communicate with managers and Manufacturing and Sales staff concerning your design project.
• • Investigate and resolve technical problems involving product performance. Support existing products through an ongoing process of continuous improvements and engineering changes to enhance performance and manufacturability.
• • Perform a variety of engineering tasks in the planning and design of electro-mechanical products, manufacturing and assembly tooling, electrical enclosures and cable assemblies. Determine and establish specifications through engineering calculations and layouts. Use appropriate engineering tools such as, CAD, FMEA, in the successful completion of design projects.
• • As a lead engineer you will coordinate all phases of development including creation, prototypes, testing and analysis. Establish and monitor adherence to time lines and schedules. Complete all required project documentation, direct the efforts of assigned support personnel as required to ensure on time project completion, be responsible for tracking the cost of components with minimizing cost as one design criteria and work closely with all areas of the company to successfully complete the projects.
• • Work with component suppliers, manufacturers, outside labs and other service providers as needed to assure the most cost effective, robust designs are implemented.
• • Continue to learn new skills and techniques through in-house training, outside training/coursework, seminars, trade shows and appropriate use of the internet and participate in the training of other members of the engineering team in these skills.
• • Communicate with Product Managers to determine all the technical specifications for a project. Continue customer interface as required during the design, production, implementation and trouble shooting of the product, including plant trips as required.
• • Provide support and assistance to coworkers as appropriate to enhance the performance and success of the engineering department and the company as a whole.
• • Product design and development done by the study of the robotic and automation market for new ideas (e.g. patents, trade magazines, trade shows, plant visits) and personal creativity.
• • Expected to be able to contribute as design checker for other engineers as needed.
• • Develop improvements in current electronics. This will include the mechanical design of new PCBs and enclosures to facilitate module assembly, reduce overall cost and parts count, and/or to provide a significant functional advantage.
• • Develop engineering standards relating to the electrical characteristics of ATI products.
• • Electrical schematic creation in Visio.
• • Perform tolerance analysis to ensure proper fit/function of completed assemblies and to minimize parts cost.

    Skills Requirements

• • Minimum of 2 years experience in applicable engineering roles.
• • Proficiency in SolidWorks solid modeling and detail/assembly drawing.
• • Knowledge of GD&T

    Education Requirements

• • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering
