锦鲤求职岗位描述
Responsibilities:
• Design parametric gripper templates (parallel jaw, multi-finger, vacuum, soft-jaw, adaptive) that serve as the basis for automated generative design
• Own the full electromechanical design of end-effectors: structure, actuation, sensing, wiring, and connector integration
• Select and integrate actuators (servos, linear actuators, pneumatics) appropriate to each gripper archetype and force/speed requirement
• Design sensor integration for grippers: force/torque sensing, tactile arrays, proximity detection, encoder feedback
• Define DFM constraints for 3D-printed end-effectors — wall thickness, print orientation, embedded channel routing, material selection (nylon, TPU, carbon-filled composites, metal sintering)
• Perform grasp force analysis: jaw moment neutralization, suction force calculations, center of-gravity compensation, friction cone analysis
• Design and maintain tool changer interfaces for quick-swap of task-specific grippers across robot platforms (humanoids, cobots, mobile manipulators)
• Define electrical interfaces: power delivery, signal routing, and communication protocols between the gripper and host robot
• Build and test physical prototypes rapidly — iterate on finger geometry, compliance, contact surfaces, and actuation schemes
• Work with the software team to ensure parametric CAD models are fully automatable and that the hardware exposes the right control/sensing interfaces
• Define gripper families that cluster against a task taxonomy — help answer “do 3-4 gripper types cover 80%+ of tasks?”
• Develop test fixtures and validation procedures for gripper performance (grip force, cycle life, repeatability, positional accuracy)
Qualifications:
• BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Electromechanical Engineering
• 5+ years designing robotic grippers, end-of-arm tooling, or electromechanical manipulation hardware
• Proficiency in Autodesk tools (Inventor and/or Fusion 360) — parametric modeling, assemblies, drawings, simulation
• Direct experience with robot grasping: grasp planning, force closure analysis, contact mechanics, and real-world gripper deployment on manipulation tasks
• Electrical design for embedded electromechanical systems: actuator drive circuits, sensor signal conditioning, connector/harness design, PCB specification for small-form-factor boards
• Hands-on 3D printing experience — understands FDM/SLA/SLS/MJF design constraints, material properties under load, and how to design for print (snap fits, embedded cavities, compliant features)
• Working knowledge of grasp mechanics: force closure, friction cones, moment analysis, underactuated mechanism design
• Experience with at least one robot platform integration (UR, Franka, humanoid arms, or custom) Comfort with tool changer systems and mounting interfaces (ISO 9409, ATI, Schunk, custom)
• Ability to read and create electrical schematics; experience specifying wire gauges, connectors, and signal types for robot end-effectors
• Hands-on prototyping: you build, wire, and test your own designs
