You will be playing a pivotal role in developing cutting-edge automated production systems. In this hands-on role, you'll thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, prioritizing operational solutions and refining systems for optimal performance.
Role and Responsibilities
This challenging hands-on role combines designing unique components – principally the means for handling and processing individual insect containers – and integrating them mechanically and collaborating with electronics engineers with the rest of the processing module.
Given the time pressures of a start-up, the chosen person must be able to deliver ‘good enough’ operational solutions as a priority and then work to refine the system.
Requirements:
- Hold a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field with a 2:1 or equivalent.
- Proficiency in designing high-speed automated material transfer systems.
- Exhibit a problem-solving mindset with a knack for innovative solutions.
- Possess a minimum of 3 years of relevant design experience in mechanical systems and subsystem components.
- Successfully executed projects utilizing rapid prototyping technologies like 3D printing.
- Skilled in developing low-power automated systems.
- Competent in designing and assembling electronic circuits, electrical panels, and PCBs.
- Proficient in the use of SolidWorks software.
