Job Title - Mechanical Engineer - Prosthetic Systems & Gear Design
Exp - 4+ years
Contract Duration - Short Term
Job Description
We’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer experienced in cycloidal drives, custom gearboxes, and motor selection to power compact, high-torque prosthetic systems.
You’ll be involved in the mechanical architecture, design validation, and performance optimization of electromechanical actuation systems within prosthetic limbs.
Responsibilities:
- Design and simulate cycloidal and planetary gear systems optimized for compact, lightweight prosthetic joints.
- Select appropriate motors and reduction systems for torque, speed, and power efficiency.
- Collaborate with product designers and embedded engineers to ensure seamless mechanical-electrical integration.
- Run FEA, motion, and tolerance analyses to validate mechanical robustness.
- Optimize designs for manufacturability (DFM) and assembly (DFA), considering medical device constraints.
Skills & Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
- Strong experience with Cycloidal and Harmonic drive systems, motion control, and gear kinematics.
- Proficiency in CAD tools (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent).
- Knowledge of materials and lightweight structural design for wearable robotics.
- Experience integrating servo/brushless DC motors and encoders.
