Fishers, IN
Full-time
Onsite
Senior Level, Lead/Staff
10+ years expArrive AI is transforming the future of the Autonomous Last Mile™ with innovative logistics solutions. They are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to design and prototype mechanical systems for their Arrive Point hardware, ensuring robust and manufacturable products that integrate seamlessly with AI and robotics.
Computer Software
Responsibilities
Design Advanced Mechanical & Lighting Systems: Lead mechanical and optical integration for Automatic Light and ADAD safety systems, designing enclosures, mounting structures, and actuator interfaces using Catia V5, Siemens NX, and Alias Automotive Studio. Ensure alignment between mechanical, electronic, and optical components for maximum performance and manufacturability
Design Digitally First: Use advanced CAD, FEA, and digital simulation tools within PLM systems (Dassault, Siemens TeamCenter) to validate designs early—covering materials, tolerances, thermal management, and vibration performance before physical builds
Integrate Mechatronic Components: Engineer seamless integration of actuators, sensors, cameras, and lighting elements within ADAD frameworks. Collaborate closely with robotics, AI, and electrical engineering teams to ensure precise system motion, control, and feedback performance
Prototype & Test: Build and iterate functional prototypes for Automatic Light modules, drive-assist sensors, and mechanical sub-systems. Conduct validation testing for environmental, vibration, and regulatory compliance, ensuring designs meet or exceed automotive standards
Optimize for Production: Apply VAVE (Value Analysis / Value Engineering) and Design-to-Cost principles to scale from concept to high-volume manufacturing
Coordinate with suppliers on materials, tooling, and production feasibility for injection-molded, sheet-metal, and LED-integrated assemblies
Collaborate Across Disciplines: Partner with optical, electrical, and AI engineers to ensure unified system behavior between mechanical motion and smart, adaptive lighting control. Translate OEM studio and design intent into technically feasible production solutions
AI-Driven Mechanical Design: Create mechanical architectures that support AI-enabled perception and adaptive response, allowing the product to adjust beam patterns, angles, and sensor visibility dynamically based on driving conditions and environment
Visualization & Communication: Develop high-impact design presentations and animations using KeyShot, Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere Pro to visualize system function for internal teams, OEM partners, and trade shows like CES and NAIAS
Qualification
Required
10+ years in mechanical design and product development for automotive lighting, robotics, or ADAS systems
