Senior Mechatronics Engineer - R&D Lab at Stryker

Who we want:

• Detail-oriented process improvers. Critical thinkers who naturally see opportunities to develop and optimize work processes – finding ways to simplify, standardize and automate.

• Self-directed initiators. People who take ownership of their work and need no prompting to drive productivity, change, and outcomes.

• Analytical problem solvers. People who go beyond just fixing to identify root causes, evaluate optimal solutions, and recommend comprehensive upgrades to prevent future issues.

• Goal-oriented developers. Keeping the customer and requirements squarely in focus, people who deliver safe and robust solutions.

• Delivers results.  A driven player who sets high goals for personal achievement and organizational success.  He/she measures success against the best internal and external benchmarks.

What you will do:

• Contribute to the design, development, and evaluation of robotic systems and applications in support of R&D project objectives, under guidance.

• Translate user needs into basic design input specifications and support product design activities with minimal oversight.

• Research and understand technical state of the art and identify potential technical solutions to problems. Deploy technical skills and knowledge to propose new concepts in collaboration with R&D Lab team.

• Assist in implementation of concepts and development of prototypes, including mechanical, electrical and software components.

• Validate developed prototypes and tools, including defining appropriate validation processes and applying standards where appropriate, under minimal supervision.

• Collaborate with senior engineers to evaluate design trade-offs and develop system components.

• Assist in troubleshooting and debugging issues in an agile development environment.

• Support the generation and review of system documentation (requirements, design, architecture, bugs, testing) as part of a project team.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across divisions to support shared technology initiatives.

• Follow established design practices and software engineering standards to help ensure systems are safe, reliable, and user-friendly.

• Learn and apply device development best practices and engineering methodologies through mentorship and training.

What you need:

• A degree in Mechatronics or Robotics Engineering, or related field.

• 2–4+ years of engineering industry experience (academic or early-career professional).

• Working knowledge of CAD modeling/design software (e.g. Solidworks)

• Good programming knowledge (esp. C++, MATLAB/Python) and experience with embedded software development.

• Experience with hardware and software prototyping and system troubleshooting.

• Good knowledge of robotics basics (kinematics, control theory) and strong mathematical skills (linear algebra, geometry).

• Good communication skills and ability to explain complex technical topics in a succinct manner.

• Experience in electrical design software (e.g. Altium)

• Basic knowledge of computer and robotic vision and image processing

• Basic knowledge of statistics, probability and their application in robotics.

• Skills in geometry processing and differential geometry.
