Mechanical/Robotics Engineer

SEL is looking for a people-oriented Mechanical/Robotics Engineer to join our Product Support and Development - Mechanical team in our Manufacturing Division. Our team develops and integrates mechanical and robotic solutions for our manufacturing facilities that enable us to build our products in a safer, more reliable, or more economical way. As an engineer in this role, day-to-day is a mix of hands-on design work, problem-solving, and working directly with your customers. You'll own everything from problem statement creation to solution integration and closing out the projects. You'll primarily be focused on leading a small team to develop automation solutions that make our production environments safer, more reliable, and more economical. You'll use tools like collaborative/industrial robotics, end-of-arm tooling, computer vision tools, and self-developed mechanical tools/fixtures. CAD work is a regular thing, whether you're building new designs or tweaking existing ones. Your solutions will be brought to life on the production floor so making sure they actually work in the real world is huge. Design quality and collaboration are a big part of our day, so expect to be involved in design reviews and giving feedback. While you lead projects and your small team, you'll be focused on delivering results on time and within budget while also developing employees as they progress in their careers.
