What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Engineer position at Yeo & Yeo HR Advisory Solutions?
About Us
Parallel Robotics designs and builds advanced dexterity robotic systems for healthcare (surgical robotics), industrial automation, automotive, and space applications. We are looking to hire a results-driven, senior mechanical engineer with prior industry experience to lead the development of complex mechanical systems and own the entire engineering process from technical concepts, detailed design and analysis to scaled-up manufacturing.
About the Role
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will serve as the complete owner of a sub-system, system, or full product platform, driving the execution, mechanical design, engineering validation, and transfer to manufacturing. You will bridge the gap between R&D concepts and formal production, working directly with internal team members as well as contract manufacturers and suppliers.
We are specifically seeking candidates with proven industry experience taking products through the formal design, manufacturing, and production release cycle.
Key Responsibilities
- Own project objectives, deliverables, schedules, budgets, and resources while ensuring compliance with Design Controls (DC) and Quality Management Systems (QMS).
- Lead the full product development lifecycle, including requirements definition, specifications, design, analysis, verification, and production readiness.
- Design complex mechanical systems, assemblies, mechanisms, structures, and motion systems using SolidWorks and GD&T standards.
- Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) efforts, optimizing designs for scalable production processes such as CNC machining, injection molding, metal stamping, additive manufacturing, and assembly.
- Perform engineering analyses including kinematics, motion studies, structural calculations, and mechanical performance evaluations.
- Develop prototypes, test fixtures, and validation plans; conduct hands-on testing, troubleshooting, and design iteration.
- Manage relationships with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and vendors to source components and support prototype and production builds.
- Mentor junior engineers, participate in technical design reviews, and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence.
- Create and maintain high-quality engineering documentation, including design specifications, technical reports, design review materials, and patent support documentation.
About You
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
- Proven experience bringing mechanical, electromechanical, or robotic hardware products from development through production.
- Experience working in regulated industries such as aerospace, healthcare, or automotive is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly through organized documentation, presentations, and design reviews.
- Proven leadership skills with experience driving technical decisions, coordinating cross-functional efforts, and leading small engineering teams.
Benefits
Base compensation is negotiable and will be commensurate with the selected candidate’s experience and qualifications. In addition to a competitive salary, the compensation package includes bonus opportunities, stock options, and benefits such as flexible leave.
