• Lead the development and maintenance of mechanical designs, including heavy welded structures, bases, frames, positioners, and gantries.
• Work primarily on : Column & Boom manipulators, Gantry systems, Side Beam welders, and Custom welding cells (including associated fixtures, tooling, and interfaces)
• Create 3D models, detailed designs, and modifications of mechanical components and assemblies— primarily in SolidWorks (weldments, sheet metal, large assemblies, configurations, PDM).
• Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) (SolidWorks Simulation preferred) to assess stress, deflection, buckling, and fatigue; define load cases, boundary conditions, and safety factors; document assumptions and iterate designs accordingly.
• Generate layouts, drafts, and fabrication drawings to industry standards; apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5), weld symbols, notes, BOMs, and inspection requirements.
• Collaborate with applications, controls / robotics, and manufacturing teams to convert concept designs into robust, build-ready products; conduct design reviews and participate in DFMEA / risk assessments.
• Occasionally visit customer sites during proposal / pre‑sales stages to support scoping, site measurements, layout reviews, feasibility and risk assessments, and to capture requirements and interface constraints.
