What We’re Looking For:

• Senior-level experience in mechanical engineering or industrial design

• Familiarity with Pick-and-Place systems or automated motion systems
• Ability to write algorithms for microcontrollers
• Experience writing G-code for CNC equipment
• Experience in translating loosely defined goals into concrete engineering solutions
• Bonus: experience in medical devices, robotics, automation, or precision hardware
