Mechatronics Engineer

Job Mission

Job Description

• Technically own and drive the decisions necessary to complete the tasks.
• Work with designers from supporting engineering disciplines in order to converge on an overall design solution.
• Autonomously gather necessary information to conceive and propose options in order to meet the sub-module and sub-system level requirements.
• Interface with module architects to derive requirements for the sub-modules.
• Write performance specification documents at sub-module level and feed sub-budgets down to the lower levels.
• Create sub-module level test protocol docs and subsequent test result analysis to prove sub-module and sub-system level performance specs are met.
• Understand and be able to communicate the implication of sub-module level errors on higher module level performance and on other sub-modules.
