Sterling Engineering Inc.
Job Description
Job Description
Responsibilities:
Develop, track, and be responsible for creating system-level engineering specifications from market/business requirements Lead a team, consisting of direct and indirect reports Develop complex system/product development plans for new automated systems Develop interface specifications between system components Create system-level Theory of Operations documents touching on mechanical, electrical, controls, and software Develop system level safety architecture with lead members of Controls and Electrical Engineering teams Work closely with design engineers during all phases of product development to ensure that the mechanical, electrical, controls, and software systems will operate properly together as a single, complex system Establish system
reliability/availability/maintainability
metrics Establish standards for development of complex systems and how we will document system interfaces, communication protocols Ensure that products are designed with future needs in mind (e.g., processor selection, motor sizing, board expandability, etc.) Conduct system-level design reviews, DFMEA, risk assessments Serve as subject matter expert on how everything works together Participate in hardware and software design reviews and provide valuable insights Identify system needs/gaps before these create problems; anticipate areas of difficulty that require more attention Lead regulatory and safety compliance efforts
Experience:
BS in Engineering (Mechanical or Electrical) 15+ years working in mechanical design involving electrical and mechanical assemblies and mechanisms, controls systems, and
automation/robotics Onshape 3D CAD experience strongly preferred; other 3D CAD experience may be considered Should have new product development experience / conceptual design experience Ability to get into design details with the rest of the design team, having a deep understanding of mechanical and electrical (controls) engineering Ability to troubleshoot and diagnose problems with automated systems Experience leading teams, delegating tasks, creating team schedules, and setting priorities Significant knowledge of mechanical design, drawing standards, mechanical tolerances and stack-ups, fabrication techniques Experience with optical, proximity, IR, LIDAR, ultrasonic, RFID and other sensing technologies typically used in robotics Understanding of and experience with various safety and regulatory compliance requirements (CE, UL, robot, 13849, 62061, etc.) Prefer previous hands-on experience building
prototypes/assemblies/etc. Experience with software development, SQA, release practices; coding experience not needed but a major plus Experience with large-scale industrial automation system implementation
Contract position
$50-80/hr based on experience
Benefits available including health/dental/life insurance, 401k, PTO
