R&D Engineer – Mechatronic Systems, Simulation & AI

R&D Engineer – Mechatronic Systems, Simulation & AI

Description

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Design & System Development

• Design portions of engineering solutions for mechatronic systems, mechanical and thermal hardware, electronics enclosures, and production tooling, in accordance with established engineering principles and development guidelines.
• Support system-level and control-related design considerations, including servo motion, actuation, power, and integrated mechanical behaviours.
• Conduct feasibility studies, design margin assessments, and analytical evaluations on new and modified designs.
• Perform root cause analysis of design or system issues and propose, evaluate, and implement corrective solutions.

Simulation, Analysis & AI-Enabled Engineering

• Develop and apply simulation models, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for structural, thermal, vibration, and durability assessments.
• Support design decision-making through simulation-driven insights and correlation with empirical data.
• Explore and apply AI-driven techniques to accelerate simulation workflows, improve prediction accuracy, and enable design optimization (e.g., predictive modelling, automated meshing, generative approaches).

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Execution

• Work in a collaborative R&D environment to design, analyze, simulate, and refine components, devices, structures, and assemblies.
• Participate as a member of cross-functional project teams, including internal engineers and outsourced development partners, to deliver reliable, cost-effective, and high-quality solutions for low to moderately complex products.
• Build and manage relationships with suppliers and outsourced partners, setting expectations for deliverables, quality, schedules, and cost.

Engineering Change & Value Engineering

• Manage engineering change processes, including design change notifications, engineering change approvals, and associated schedules.
• Drive value engineering initiatives, including proposal development, technical evaluation, and communication.

Education

• Bachelor’s or Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience and demonstrated competence).

Preferred Skills & Competencies

• Familiarity with 3D CAD tools, such as Creo Parametric / ProEngineer.
• Experience or understanding of FEA tools (e.g., Altair HyperWorks, ANSYS) is highly preferred.
• Understanding of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
• Strong fundamentals in mechanics of materials, kinematics, and materials engineering.
• Practical knowledge of material testing methods, such as fatigue and creep testing.
• Interest or exposure to AI / ML concepts and their application in engineering (e.g., predictive modelling, optimization).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with understanding of mechanical and thermal material properties.
• Hands-on engineering capability and willingness to engage directly with hardware, prototypes, testing and failure investigation.

Bonus / Differentiators

• Programming skills in Python, C++, or MATLAB for simulation automation and data analysis.
