About the Role
You will build thermal models of actuators, batteries, sensors and computers, simulate kinematic use cases to find where mitigations are needed, and create and run test plans to validate your thermal designs. You will inspect first articles, build test stands, and work with subsystem owners to integrate thermal management into the robot.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, 2+ years in thermal modeling
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Mechanical, Robotics, Mechatronics, or similar field
- Experience using 3D CAD software for complex geometry
- Experience designing and building prototypes
- Experience with simulation and analysis software (ANSYS, COMSOL, MATLAB)
- Ability to write and maintain clean design documentation
Responsibilities
- Build a thermal model of actuators, battery, sensors, computers, and other key components
- Simulate kinematic use cases and determine where thermal mitigations are necessary
- Generate and execute test plans to demonstrate thermal management design effectiveness
- Inspect first articles, build test stands, and support parts on robot development platforms
- Work cross-functionally with subsystem owners to integrate the thermal management system
