Mechatronics Engineer

As a
Mechatronics Engineer
at Smarter Alloys, your primary goal is to design, build and test electro-mechanical devices and implement automation across our various projects. We’re looking for someone who can truly own their projects and carry them independently all the way through design, prototyping, testing, and production. Specifically, we’re looking for someone with hands‑on experience building automation systems and electromechanical components from scratch and seeing them through concept to implementation.
You will have the freedom to work on your projects independently, while being responsive to the iterative nature of the work and communicating effectively with rest of the team.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIESDesign, build, and test electromechanical devices using programmable shape memory alloy (SMA) technologyDesign and integrate sensors, feedback control and data acquisition systems (DAQ) on lab prototypes, testing and manufacturing equipmentDesign and build automation systems, jigs, fixtures and setups for enhancement of new and existing equipmentDevelop advanced automated manufacturing methods and processes for high volume productionDesign and setup circuits and electronics for project prototypesWrite and implement software programs for setups and project prototypesSupport procurement and commissioning of equipment and componentsTroubleshoot open-ended problems in prototyping and designSolve problems of varying nature and complexityAssist in the development of novel SMA sensing techniquesWork closely with a multidisciplinary team to integrate mechatronics in various SMA systems
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONSBachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical or Systems Design EngineeringExperience developing automation control through integration of sensors and instrumentationAdvanced proficiency in 3D design tools such as AutoDesk suite (Inventor, Fusion, AutoCAD), SolidWorks, etc. with design for manufacturing & assembly (DFM/DFA) principlesHands‑on prototyping and debugging experience while using lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, etc.)Experience with circuit design and analysisProficiency in software programming (C, C++, Arduino, Python etc.)
