Responsibilities
Product Maintenance and Improvement: Proactively identify and address issues in current robotic arms and grippers to enhance reliability, performance, and user satisfaction. Use Solidworks to implement design changes that improve product durability, ease of assembly, and cost, without compromising functionality
Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis: Employ a deep understanding of engineering principles to diagnose failures in our robotic systems. Develop and implement solutions to recurring problems by conducting thorough root cause analysis and deploying corrective actions that prevent future occurrences
Lifecycle Management: Monitor and extend the lifecycle of robotic systems through strategic updates and upgrades. Manage the phase-out of obsolete components and integrate new, more efficient parts without disrupting product functionality
Documentation and Process Improvement: Update and maintain comprehensive documentation, including BOMs, assembly procedures, and inspection plans. Recommend and implement process improvements to streamline production and assembly lines. Manage any ongoing changes in PDM/PLM systems
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with design engineers, manufacturing, procurement, and other departments to ensure product and process optimization. Participate in cross-functional teams to address and resolve engineering issues
Test Planning and Execution: Assist in developing test plans and executing validation activities (functional, durability/lifetime, environmental, and abuse testing). Coordinate test setup, instrumentation, and data collection with technicians and other engineers
Failure Analysis from Testing: Investigate test failures using structured root cause methods (e.g., fault trees, 5-Whys). Document findings, drive corrective actions, and verify fixes through re-test
Validation of Design Changes: Ensure sustaining design changes are appropriately verified and validated, including running regression tests to confirm no unintended impacts to performance, safety, manufacturability, or serviceability
Data-Driven Reliability Improvements: Analyze test and field data to identify trends, quantify reliability improvements, and prioritize sustaining work based on risk, customer impact, and recurrence
Test Documentation: Maintain clear test documentation including test procedures, reports, deviation records, and validation summaries. Contribute to inspection plans and quality criteria based on test learnings
