Mechatronics Engineer

Job Scope

You will report directly to the Hardware Technical Lead. Your daily schedule will include frequent interactions with a multi-disciplinary team, and you need to be equally comfortable working at sea trials and a normal desk in the office. You will need to work in Singapore.

• Design and Implement overall Mechanical Systems of Autonomous Platforms: Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (HAUVs)
• Design of mechanical components, mechanisms and electronics housings in CAD.
• Conduct Finite Element Analysis Simulation on design components for structural integrity and stress failure assessment.
• Drafting of 2D drawings for fabrication and assembly.
• Assembly and testing of designed mechanical components in the workshop and testing in real world environments.
• Sail out to sea for testing and evaluation of completed mechanical designs and other robotic systems.
  Design and Implement sub-components of our Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicle.
• Power electronics design to various system components, sensors and actuator systems.
• Wire harness and cabling design and production drawing generation(2D and 3D).
• Firmware development on microcontrollers such as Atmega and ARM for real-time control of hardware components.
• Bench-testing and field testing of key sensors and components for integration to our vehicles.
• Carry out intensive bench and in-water testing of our vehicles, and document performance.
• Stress testing of system components for harsh environment operations such as thermal, vibration, EMI-EMC and humidity.
• Gather user requirements in collaboration with management team and customers.
• Establish test procedures for mechanical quality control and regulatory compliance.
