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.

Desired Qualities and Skillsets
