Mechanical Engineer, Levels 2-3 Position Title(s):

Mechanical Engineer Levels 2-3

Mechanical Engineers of all levels work with other Mechanical Engineers, Project Managers, Controls Engineers, Builders, Technicians and other personnel to conceptualize, design, test and validate automation systems for various types of automation and robotic equipment. You will be involved with developing and fully designing equipment, layouts and subassemblies of automated robotic work cells.

• Develop 3D models and 2D drawings for robotic EOAT, fixtures, and automation components using CAD software (e.g., Solid Works), ensuring precision and optimal performance.
• Evaluate designs through stress simulations, motion studies, and safety assessments (e.g., FMEA) to ensure reliability in real-world applications.
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical systems with electrical and controls frameworks, delivering seamless, high-performance solutions.
• Spearhead prototype testing and iterative refinements, transforming concepts into durable, deployable designs.
• Create clear technical documentation, including specifications, engineering changes ensuring traceability and project alignment.
• Assist on-site operations, troubleshoot issues, and provide hands‑on technical support to internal teams.
• Complete tasks on schedule and within budget, proposing innovative enhancements to improve efficiency and functionality.
• Champion Our Operating Principles:
  You will be expected to actively embody and uphold our ten Operating Principles, which guide our every action and decision at Axis Automation. These principles are key to our culture and success.

• Manage and lead small‑scale projects independently and work with project teams.
• Review CAD data levels and revisions that are presented in customer parts.
• Ability to train and teach less experienced Mechanical Design Engineers and Co‑Ops / Interns.
• Lead mechanical design presentations and reviews with internal team, customers and suppliers.

• Level 2: 1 - 4 years mechanical design experience
• Level 3: Minimum 4 years mechanical design experience
• Proven experience developing comprehensive design packages
• Experience working with Solid Works CAD or other 3D CAD software
• Working knowledge of GD&T
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering preferred
• Experience designing automated machinery preferred
• Experience with robotic simulation software preferred
