About the role

  • Senior Manager of Mechatronics Engineering at Dandy, leading development of next-gen robotic manufacturing systems for custom prosthetics. Expanding innovative technology in dental practices.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and integrate complex robotic hardware systems, including precision actuators, sensors, and electromechanical subsystems, ensuring they meet the micron-level reliability required for custom prosthetic manufacturing applications.
  • Apply deep technical knowledge of both additive (3D printing) and subtractive (milling, grinding, polishing) processes to design versatile, high-precision manufacturing platforms.
  • Lead the rapid prototyping of components and conduct rigorous structural/thermal analyses. Validate designs through intensive performance testing and failure-mode analysis (FMEA).
  • Implement and refine motor control logic, sensor fusion, and real-time feedback loops. Define the communication protocols (e.g., EtherCAT, CANopen) to enable robust, real-time robotic operation.
  • Co-develop machine designs with 3rd party vendors, managing the technical roadmap from initial specification through to machine buy-off, ensuring external partners meet Dandy’s rigorous performance standards.
  • Act as the primary technical interface between mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software teams to ensure seamless system integration and optimization of system dynamics.
  • Own product development from "blank sheet" concept through to the factory floor. This includes detailed documentation (CAD, schematics, BOMs) and leading pilot builds through to production-line execution.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of machine-building experience, specifically in hardware, mechatronics, or robotics engineering with a focus on system-level architecture for production systems.
  • B.S./M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Robotics Engineering.
  • Proven ability to work as an individual contributor in an early-stage environment while possessing the leadership skills to scale a team.
  • Expert-level proficiency with Solidworks or similar platforms and a deep understanding of varied fabrication and manufacturing processes.
  • Profound knowledge of robotic kinematics/dynamics, motor controllers, and simulation tools.
  • Hands-on experience with sensor integration, embedded systems, and industrial design execution.
  • Knowledge of industrial design principles, mockup development, vendor interaction, and regulatory/safety compliance standards for automated machinery.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to mentor junior engineers and manage multiple projects in a high-velocity high growth environment.
  • Ability to self-direct, self-managing issues to closure involving all necessary teams, and adapt quickly to program changes.
  • Willingness to travel to suppliers, manufacturing, and testing facilities as required throughout product development (~20% travel).

Benefits

  • healthcare
  • dental
  • mental health support
  • parental planning resources
  • retirement savings options
  • generous paid time off
