JOB TITLE: Chassis Engineer - Actuators
LOCATION: Foster City, CA (Onsite)
PAY RANGE: $81 - $91/hr.
DURATION: 12 Months POSITION SUMMARY:
You ll collaborate with a team of world-class engineers with diverse backgrounds in areas such as AI, robotics, mechatronics, planning, machine learning, control, localization, computer vision, rendering, simulation, distributed computing, design, and automated testing. You will be challenged to rethink what it means for hardware design to arrive at elegant and efficient systems now that a robot is in control. Working at a startup gives you the chance to manifest your creativity and make a big difference in the final product.
The candidate will have component design and release responsibility, working with components on the innovative active suspension system. To deliver these systems, the candidate will be an integral member of the chassis actuator engineering team and will coordinate the execution and delivery of engineering milestones. The candidate will work with tier one suppliers to lead development and release of components related to an active chassis system while meeting cost, weight, timing, and performance targets. The scope will focus primarily on the strut and spring design and requires prior experience with this set of components. The candidate will also have experience with hydraulic systems and with vehicle dynamics development and tuning. Documentation to be delivered in support of component and vehicle execution will include: requirements and specifications, failure mode and effects analysis, 2D and 3D computer-aided drawings, PLM release process documents, as well as system and component-level technical specifications. As we are a small team, this role will also include other cross-functional activities such as vehicle integration and testing.
RESPONSIBILITIES:- You will design, in CATIA V6, prototype hardware and electromechanical systems
- You will generate 2D drawing packages for fabrication and assembly
- You will evaluate the static, dynamic, structural, and thermal-mechanical performances of mechanical assemblies
- You will be responsible for component testing and characterization, including the development of innovative test methods and data analysis.
- You will collaborate with suppliers to manage designs, design documents, execute engineering disciplines, and component deliveries.
- You will collaborate with different teams for manufacturing, assembly, and bring-up and operation of the robots.
- You will collaborate with experts in AI, Mechatronics, Computer Vision, and Robotics from all teams
QUALIFICATIONS:- Strong communication skills with peers, management, manufacturing, and suppliers
