Joints and Frame Engineer

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop the frames and joints of the exoskeleton, including the structural components and mechanisms for joint actuation and control.
  • Collaborate with other engineers and designers to ensure that the frames and joints integrate seamlessly with other subsystems.
  • Test and validate the frames and joints and provide technical support during the integration and testing phase.
  • Develop and maintain frame and joint documentation, including design specifications, manufacturing processes, and operation procedures.
  • Select materials and manufacturing processes for the frames and joints based on performance, reliability, and cost considerations.
  • Ensure that the frames and joints comply with safety standards and regulations.
  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and trends in frames and joint engineering.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s student in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience in designing and developing mechanical systems for real-time applications.
  • Proficiency in using mechanical design and simulation software such as Inventor, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or ANSYS.
  • Familiarity with joint actuation and control mechanisms, including motors, sensors, and feedback control.
  • Experience with materials selection, manufacturing processes, and assembly techniques for mechanical systems.
  • Familiarity with safety standards and regulations for mechanical systems.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Good communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively in a team environment.

Additional Qualifications:

  • Master’s student in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience in designing and developing frames and joints for exoskeletons or similar wearable robotics.
  • Experience in using simulation software for multi-physics modelings, such as ANSYS or COMSOL.
  • Experience in designing and implementing control algorithms for joint actuation and feedback control.
  • Experience with rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D printing or CNC machining.
  • Familiarity with biomechanics and human anatomy.
