Who We Are

Carnegie Robotics designs and manufactures advanced robotics systems and components for defense, agricultural, mining, industrial, and off-road autonomy applications. Our ruggedized solutions can meet the challenges of any industry, providing effective and efficient answers for even the toughest problems.

Who We’re Looking For

We are a dynamic team committed to making the impossible possible. Our staff comes from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, fueling our ethos of collective growth and passion towards our work. We warmly welcome individuals of similar mindset to join our ranks.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Mechanical Designer, you will be collaborating with an interdisciplinary team focusing on developing reliable robotic and automation systems for a wide variety of real-world commercial products and R&D applications. Projects have ranged from designing cutting-edge stereo cameras to developing entire wheeled vehicles from the ground up for specialized purposes. Carnegie Robotics works on one of the broadest spectrums of products of any robotics company: there are always new challenges to attack.

What Your Day to Day Is

• Modelling parts and assemblies in CAD (Solidworks) both for concept development and detailed sensor and mechanism design
• Creating drawings for manufacturing using GD&T, working with suppliers to improve design for manufacturability
• Working with engineering technicians to quickly prototype in-house, using Carnegie’s waterjet, lasercutter, mill, lathe, sheet metal tools, welding equipment, and 3D printer farm
• Creating and maintaining engineering bill of materials
• Working with production technicians and engineers to transition prototype products to production validated builds
• Preparing and presenting product reports as needed for management, suppliers, and customers
• Travelling occasionally (5% of time or less) to support on-site testing of systems
• Performing other duties as assigned

What You’ll Have

• Associates Degree in drafting, preferably mechanical design or a related field
• Product design background, including design work that integrates mechanisms and electronics
• Strong ability with CAD tools (SolidWorks is preferred)
• A strong sense of personal accountability and initiative
• Ability to thrive in an independent environment
• Strong understanding of mechanisms and the tradeoffs between cost, weight, reliability, lead time and complexity
• Written and presentation skills required to communicate to external customers and internally to teammates
• Authorization to work for any US employer. The company is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position.

How You’ll Stand Out

• Have a propensity to build and test things on your own time, exhibiting a deep interest in engineering design and analysis both in the office and at home
• Ideal candidates will have seen robotics and mechanical challenges before and will additionally have:
  • Familiarity with GD&T drawings, BOM management, and releasing products to a production group
  • Experience in production-level design and testing methods

What You'll Get Out Of It

• UPMC health coverage with FSA or HSA options
• Comprehensive dental, vision, and life insurance
• Fidelity 401(k) plan with employer match
• Free catered lunch every day with a vegan option
• 31 Days of PTO (including holidays)
