OnShape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Siemens NX), managing both small parts and large, complex workstation assemblies.

• Precision Mechanism Design: Proven experience designing multi-axis kinematic systems, selecting bearings, and managing cable-drive or low-friction transmission systems.
• Force & Tactile Sensing Integration: Demonstrated experience integrating load cells, 6-axis force-torque (F/T) sensors, or tactile arrays into mechanical assemblies to capture physical interactions.
• Human-Factors Experience: Demonstrated understanding of ergonomic principles and designing hardware that physically interfaces with human users for long durations.
• Prototyping Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with both rapid prototyping (advanced 3D printing) and traditional manufacturing processes (machining, turning).
• Hardware-in-the-Loop: Experience designing enclosures and structural routing for delicate sensors, heavy optics/monitors, and cable management.

Bonus Skills

• Previous experience in teleop and data collection devices, such as surgical robotics (e.g., designing consoles or master controllers for systems like Da Vinci, Monarch, or Ottava).
• Experienced with implementing optics/cameras, such as:
• Accommodating FOV estimates.
• Choosing appropriate window materials.
• Background in mechanical haptics, force-feedback systems, and admittance/impedance control hardware.
• Experience designing flight simulators, driving rigs, or high-end VR hardware.
• Familiarity with mechatronics and integrating smart servos into mechanical assemblies.
• Experience with designing human wearables (watch/pedometer/glasses).
