Senior Mechanical Engineer, Debug

About the job

The Debug Project is a team of scientists and engineers dedicated to developing solutions for mosquito-borne disease control. We are developing technology to raise and release sterile mosquitoes.

In this role, you will join a team of mosquito biologists, software engineers, and automation experts working to develop better ways to reduce the impact of mosquito-borne diseases. You will be responsible for research and development across various processes and products. You will be central to the design, development, deployment, and ongoing improvements of Debug technology and products.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and integrate automated systems with a variety of electromechanical components, including servo systems, pneumatics, sensors, drive components, etc.
• Oversee the full product lifecycle, from defining requirements and prototype validation to the final launch of production-ready systems.
• Design and iterate with real-world users and use cases, inside and outside the factory. Test prototypes and released products, and resolve technical problems in production equipment.
• Use engineering tools such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Design for Manufacturing (DFA) and incorporate engineering calculations to verify product performance.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers, scientists, software engineers, and operations teams to solve technical tests that require unique solutions. Lead technical projects, improve current processes, and contribute to multi-year roadmaps for Debug Singapore.
