Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the mechanical design of major subsystems of a next generation of bionic footwear. A successful candidate will be able to create high-quality designs from customer needs. You will work closely with a team of controls, electrical, and software engineers to develop cutting edge systems. Being on the forefront of an emerging technology, many of the problems we face start with a blank whiteboard. The breadth of this role includes the design of electromechanical and actuation systems, leading all stages of prototyping efforts, and evaluating prototypes through lab and user testing. It is expected that this role will require a majority of time spent designing using Solidworks. To quickly develop this technology, Dephy strives to enable and facilitate an environment in which rapid iteration and prototyping can thrive. 

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Design of the mechanical components used in performance exoskeletons
• Design of complex electromechanical assemblies and mechanisms using Solidworks
• Create models that are both beautiful and functional
• Bring designs to life starting with a sketch or rendering
• Develop ideas through prototyping and testing
• Understand and solve hard problems with creative solutions

Required Qualifications:

• Be a good human - get along with the team, build strong working relationships, and execute on Dephy’s Values.
• Significant Solidworks experience focused on electromechanical systems and a portfolio to showcase them
• Courage to try new things and fail fast
• Self starter mindset that doesn’t wait to be told what to do next
• Capability of thriving in a cross-disciplinary and collaborative environment
• Ability to work with team members of all experience levels

• BS in Mechanical Engineering
• 5+ years of design engineering experience working with cross functional teams
• All candidates invited to interview will be asked to share a portfolio that shows their relevant design experience.

Preferred Experience:

• Wearable robotics or exoskeletons
• Biomechanics and human locomotion
• Rapid prototyping and iterative development processes
• Design of consumer devices
• Prototyping and manufacturing techniques
