Senior Tech Lead Mechatronics

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• System Architecture & Mechatronic Design:

• Lead design of complex mechatronic systems involving BLDC, stepper, and servo motors.

• Architect integrated motion systems combining sensors, actuators, drives, and controllers for industrial machines.

• Motor Control, Drives & Embedded Software:

• Specify and optimize DC motor drives and actuator systems for efficiency, thermal performance, and precision.

• Competence in the use and management of sensors and actuators, PLCs, and embedded systems

• Develop and tune motion‑control algorithms, PID/FOC loops, and embedded software (C/C++/Python).

• Modeling, Simulation & Prototyping

• Use MATLAB/Simulink and CAE tools to model dynamics, NVH, thermal behavior, and system performance.

• Lead rapid prototyping, testing, root‑cause analysis, and supplier coordination for custom components.

• Gear Train & Transmission Design

• Design spur, helical, planetary, and harmonic gear systems for motor-driven mechanisms.

• Perform gear macro/micro geometry design, backlash/tolerance analysis, and strength/life calculations using AGMA/ISO standards.

• Knowledge of Ball Screw, lead screw and different Mechanism for Rotary to Linear conversion.

• Work together with Hydraulic expert to integrate electronics to Actuator systems

• Motion System Integration

• Select and size motors, gearboxes, encoders/resolvers, brakes, and drives using load, inertia, and duty-cycle analysis.

• Define mechanical requirements, architecture, and detailed designs for precision motion assemblies.

• Understanding of the principles governing automatic control systems, such as control system theory and system modeling

• Testing, Validation & Reliability

• Conduct bench testing, torque‑speed characterization, NVH validation, and system debugging.

• Perform DFMEA, verification planning, design validation, and implement corrective actions.

• Manufacturing & DFM/DFA

• Apply DFM/DFA principles and select appropriate materials and processes for gears, shafts, housings, and transmission components.

• Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Compliance

• Work closely with electronics, firmware, mechanical, and manufacturing teams across development stages.

• Ensure compliance with industry safety and regulatory standards (UL, CSA, FM, ISO, IEC, NEC, FDA).

• Communicate design decisions, risks, and results to global stakeholders.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s in Mechatronics/Mechanical/Electrical or related.

• Min 15 years in mechatronic design focused on motorized and gear‑based systems.

• Strong knowledge of BLDC/Stepper motors, drivers, power stages, feedback devices (incremental/absolute encoders, resolvers), and motion control fundamentals.

• Hands‑on experience with AGMA/ISO gear design and analysis, tolerance analysis, bearing selection and preload, shaft/housing stiffness, and NVH basics.

• Experience with power analyzers, oscilloscopes, torque/force sensors, accelerometers, spectrum analyzers, and dynamometer test benches.

• Working knowledge of relevant ISO, IEC & UL/CE standards.

• Excellent problem-solving, Critical thinking and debugging skills.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
