Role Summary
Magna New Mobility is seeking a highly motivated and innovative Mechanical Engineer to join our cutting-edge New Mobility group in Lowell, Massachusetts. In this role, you will play a crucial part in the mechanical development of autonomous mobile robotics (AMR) projects, collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to design, test, and launch next-generation robotic solutions.
This role provides an exciting opportunity to work in an agile and fast-paced environment where you will have the freedom to innovate and explore new technologies. If you thrive in a hands-on, problem-solving role and are passionate about advancing robotic systems, this position is for you!
Key Responsibilities

• Mechanical System Design: Develop mechanical architectures, sub-system requirements, and component designs for AMR/robotic systems.

• Modeling & Documentation: Create 3D models, 2D drawings, and electromechanical interface documentation, including DFMEA analysis, GD&T and tolerance stack analysis.

• Structural & Thermal Analysis: Apply first-order and CAE techniques to evaluate structural integrity, vibration, thermal performance, and material selection.

• Electromechanical Integration: Design and integrate mechanical components, electromechanical actuators, PCBAs, and sensors (e.g., LiDAR, cameras).

• Prototyping & Testing: Build, modify, and validate prototype samples, as well as test mechanical requirements at both the component and assembly level.

• Manufacturing & Production Support: Ensure designs are optimized for low to high-volume manufacturing and support production ramp-up.

• Test Equipment & Fixture Development: Assist in fabricating test setups for engineering and validation purposes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• 3+ years of relevant experience in mechanical design, development, and testing of robotic or mechatronic systems (AMRs, AGVs, etc.).

• Experience with industry-standard CAD software (SolidWorks preferred)

• Knowledge of design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) methodologies for low-to-high volume production.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with mechanical structures, electromechanical actuators, and sensor integration.

• Expertise in mechanical analysis techniques, including first-order and CAE simulations.

• Experience with thermal management and electronic assembly design.

• Proficiency in rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and machining techniques.

• Knowledge of engineering change management processes and PLM tools (e.g. Teamcenter)

• Experience working in an agile development environment.
