Mechanical Engineer

About Us

At Harvested Robotics, we are revolutionizing sustainable farming through cutting-edge AI and robotic solutions. Our tractor-mounted laser weeding technology integrates advanced robotics, machine learning, and precision engineering to provide farmers with efficient, chemical-free, and cost-effective weed management tools.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with expertise in designing robust, field-ready systems for challenging agricultural environments. This role focuses on the development of the mechanical components of our tractor-mounted laser weeder, ensuring durability, efficiency, and manufacturability. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in CAD modeling, stress and vibration analysis, and prototyping, as well as a passion for innovation in agricultural machinery.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop detailed CAD models and engineering drawings for the laser weeder's core components, including laser module housings, structural supports, and tractor-mounting mechanisms.
• Perform stress, vibration, and durability analysis to ensure system reliability under harsh field conditions, including rough terrain and continuous operation.
• Optimize designs for agricultural environments, accounting for factors such as dust, moisture, and temperature variations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including robotics and electronics engineers, to integrate mechanical designs seamlessly into the overall system.
• Prototype and iterate on designs using rapid fabrication techniques like 3D printing and CNC machining.
• Work with vendors to adapt designs to manufacturing standards and ensure quality control during production.
• Prepare technical documentation, including specifications, analysis reports, and safety compliance documents.
• Identify and implement design improvements to enhance durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance for field operations.
• Participate in field trials to test prototypes, diagnose issues, and iteratively refine designs based on real-world performance.
• Stay updated on advancements in materials, manufacturing techniques, and agricultural machinery trends to innovate and improve product designs.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience: Minimum of 2 years in mechanical design, preferably in industrial or agricultural machinery.
• Proficiency in CAD tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar for creating detailed models and drawings.
• Strong knowledge of stress, vibration, and durability analysis for mechanical systems.
• Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping techniques, including 3D printing and CNC machining.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes and the ability to collaborate with vendors to ensure design feasibility and production efficiency.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt designs to dynamic and challenging field conditions.
• Excellent communication skills for interacting with multidisciplinary teams and external stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

• Experience designing mechanical systems for agricultural machinery or other field equipment.
• Familiarity with environmental challenges such as dust-proofing, water resistance, and temperature resilience in mechanical designs.
• Knowledge of agricultural machinery standards and safety regulations.
• Proven ability to innovate and improve mechanical systems in a fast-paced, iterative development environment.
