Mechatronics Engineer

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.
