Mechanical Systems Test Engineer

Your Responsibilities

• Engineer the transition of Fulfil’s system from prototype to production machines by improving their LTR and Robustness over entire expected lifetime
• Design test fixtures based on current and future Fulfil designs using SolidWorks
• Own creation of test plans for inducing EOL failure on various robotic assemblies and components
• Build models to determine how many units need to be tested and for how long to support specific reliability objectives
• Carry out testing for LTR, ensuring proper execution of methodology including HALT testing
• Perform root cause and failure analysis during the testing cycles
• Analyze and interpret data from LTR test, present this data and conclusion to various stakeholders to determine best path forward
• Leverage wide breadth of engineering knowledge to generate proper solutions to an equally diverse set of problems
• Lead projects requiring cross-team coordination, project management, resource management, decision making, and effective communication on tight timelines in order to run effective tests
• Develop and implement new equipment or functionality to improve the Fulfil technical ecosystem
• Identify and implement mechanical design improvements and product changes to solve issues. Verify fix effectiveness with a data-driven approach
• Create detailed component and assembly drawings using GD&T
• Work with NPI and Operations teams to drive hardware deployment in new facilities
• Maintain a functional reliability lab, ensuring tests are running and tools and equipment are organized

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or similar
• 1-5+ Years Experience with running LTR or EOL testing on mechatronic systems
• Experience with creating and building test fixtures in 3D CAD
• Experience creating and executing on test plans or research studies
• Experience working with mechatronics hardware – motors & drives, sensors, actuators, etc.
• Experience with life data analysis, including zero-failure and k-failure test plans, censored data, confidence bounds (e.g., chi-square methods), and MTBF or B-life estimation.
• Hands on aptitude – able to dive in and troubleshoot a variety of system issues across multiple engineering disciplines, but with a focus on those related to wear and degradation of components
• Experience designing mechanical components
• Desire to work in an incredibly fast-paced startup environment
• Cares about the world and wants to have an impact on it
