Mechatronics Engineer

We are looking for a Mechatronics Engineer with a strong technical backgrmechatround in mechatronics systems, Dynamics & Control, System Modeling and simulations with a penchant for innovation. We are looking for someone who can work on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Model-Based Design (MBD) through development of systems-integrated mechatronics models, and drive development of mechatronics, robotics, and automation systems for future Laboratory Diagnostic instruments and automation platforms.

Your role:

• You will develop mechatronic models, simulation tools and design-optimization methodologies for a wide range of precision motion, fluidic, and thermal controls applications.
• You will expand existing Model-Based Design (MBD) capabilities and develop and execute Model-Based Engineering (MBSE) workflows through systems-level integration of mechatronics sub-systems models.
• You will develop Multibody Dynamics models of Motion Control systems in Simcenter 3D Motion and Simscape Multibody.
• You will develop designs and CAD models in support of test platform development as well as new concept prototypes.
• You will contribute to developing prototypes and test platforms for new design concepts.
• You will be responsible for developing Test Automation code in LabView to enable benchtop-level subsystem testing.
• Prior experience with CAE tools is highly desirable.
• You will be work with design engineers in executing the mechatronics design cycle that involves understanding design requirements, concept generation, design selection, and driving simulation-based servo-mechanical design optimization and robustness.
• You will work with mechatronics specialists as well as design and test engineers from Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Firmware/Software functions to develop and integrate novel, improved and cost-effective Mechatronics solutions for Instrument and Automation platforms.
• You will actively participate in the identification of potential technical problems and provide effective solutions through original and innovative thinking.

Your expertise:

• You possess a solid understanding of fundamentals of dynamics, control theory, sensors, actuators, circuit theory, basic/applied physics, basic electronics, and signal processing.
• You have a strong background in mechatronics and robotics.
• You are skilled in developing basic mathematical models and simulation tools for mechatronic systems.
• You have working knowledge of NX CAD software and Simcenter 3D Motion.
• You are proficient in Matlab, Simulink, Simscape, and Stateflow.
• You have experience with instrumentation, data acquisition, LabView-based test-development.
• You can apply system level thinking in the mechatronics design process including relevant aspects of firmware and software architecture and their interaction with hardware.
• You will have working knowledge of system identification and parameter estimation methods.
• Your familiarity with Multiphysics modeling using Simscape and other tools is highly desirable.
• Experience with programming in C/C++/ Python is desirable.
• Your familiarity with statistical methods, Design of Experiments, and data analysis is highly desirable.
• Your working knowledge of structured design optimization methods including Bayesian Optimization schemes would be a plus.
• You have a strong “system thinking” approach to problem solving.
• You are a team player with experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams.

Required skills and education to have for the success of this role

• Bachelors/Masters in Mechanical/Electrical/Aerospace/Biomedical/Mechatronics Engineering or Engineering Physics.
• Basic knowledge of CAD, preferably NX and Simcenter 3D Motion is highly desirable.
• Relevant prior work experience of 2-10+ years is preferred. However, candidates of all experience levels may be considered depending on their prior academic and work background, experience, and education level.
• Prior experience in product development for medical, aerospace, automotive, factory automation, robotics, and Precision Instruments industry is preferred.
