Motion Systems Engineer

Location: Lake Mary, FL Work Type: Full-Time, Onsite About The Role We are seeking an experienced Motion Systems Engineer with a strong background in mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics engineering and hands-on experience designing multi-axis precision motion systems. The engineer will design and develop X/Y/Z linear and Theta/rotary motion systems for advanced laser processing and automation equipment, taking designs from concept through prototype, testing, and production. Main Responsibilities Design multi-axis X/Y/Z + Theta/rotary motion systems, stages, and gantries.Select and integrate servo motors, linear motors, direct/magnetic drives, actuators, encoders, and motion controllers.Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, drawings, and engineering designs.Perform design calculations, component selection, and tolerance analysis.Integrate motion systems with PLCs, robotics, and automation systems.Troubleshoot, test, commission, and optimize motion systems.Take engineering projects from concept → design → prototype → testing → production. Main Requirements Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering, or related field.5+ years of relevant engineering experience.Proven experience designing multi-axis precision motion systems.Strong understanding of X/Y/Z linear and Theta/rotary-axis motion.Hands-on experience with servo systems, drives, actuators, encoders, and motion controllers.Strong CAD and engineering design skills.Experience developing and testing equipment from concept through production.Experience with linear motors, direct-drive, or magnetic-drive technology is highly desirable.Robotics, automation, laser processing, CNC, or precision machinery experience is a plus. Key screening requirement: Candidates must have hands-on multi-axis motion system design experience, not just general mechanical/electrical engineering experience.
