About Quantic

Quantic Tech Analysis builds AI-powered quality inspection systems for industrial manufacturing. We combine computer vision, embedded computing, industrial cameras, electronics, and mechanical systems to develop reliable inspection solutions for real-world factory environments.

We are looking for a hands-on Lead Mechatronics & Hardware Design Engineer to take ownership of end-to-end hardware development, from concept and design to prototyping, testing, and production deployment.

What You’ll Do

• Mechanical Design & Product Development
• Design industrial enclosures, camera mounts, brackets, and mechanical assemblies.
• Create 3D models, manufacturing drawings, and assembly designs using SolidWorks, Creo, or Fusion 360.
• Handle thermal management, airflow, vibration resistance, and mechanical reliability.
• Coordinate fabrication, machining, sheet-metal work, and prototype development.
• Electrical Design & Power Systems
• Design electrical architecture for industrial inspection systems and control panels.
• Perform power-budget calculations and select suitable AC/DC power supplies, wiring, connectors, and protection components.
• Design 12V/24V DC distribution, grounding, fusing, and electrical interfaces.
• Prepare electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts.
• PCB Design & Electronics
• Design and review PCB schematics and layouts using Altium, KiCad, or equivalent tools.
• Select electronic components and develop circuit interfaces for cameras, sensors, lighting, fans, and embedded computing systems.
• Debug PCB-level issues, power instability, electrical noise, and signal-integrity problems.
• Build and validate electronic prototypes.
• Embedded Hardware & System Integration
• Integrate industrial cameras, USB 3.0 hubs, NVIDIA Jetson platforms, PCBs, lighting, and cooling systems.
• Troubleshoot intermittent camera detection, USB connectivity, power fluctuations, and hardware failures.
• Use oscilloscopes, multimeters, and other diagnostic equipment for root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with AI and software teams to ensure reliable hardware–software integration.
• End-to-End Hardware Ownership
• Own hardware development from concept through design, prototyping, validation, and production readiness.
• Prepare BOMs, technical documentation, assembly instructions, and test procedures.
• Coordinate with vendors, fabrication partners, technicians, and manufacturing teams.
• Drive design improvements, cost optimization, reliability, and field issue resolution.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in hardware product development, industrial automation, robotics, machine vision, or electronic equipment.
• Strong practical experience in mechanical CAD and product enclosure design.
• Working knowledge of electrical design, AC/DC power distribution, and power calculations.
• Hands-on experience with PCB schematic design, PCB layout, and electronics debugging.
• Experience with prototype assembly, hardware testing, and troubleshooting.
• Ability to independently take a hardware product from concept to a working prototype.

Good to Have

• Experience with industrial machine vision systems and industrial cameras.
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson or other embedded computing platforms.
• Experience with USB 3.0 connectivity, high-speed interfaces, and signal integrity.
• Knowledge of DFM/DFA, thermal design, EMC/EMI, and industrial safety.
• Experience taking prototypes into manufacturing and field deployment.

Who Should Apply?

We are looking for a hands-on engineer who enjoys working across mechanical, electrical, and electronics disciplines—not someone restricted to a single design function.

You should be comfortable designing components, building prototypes, diagnosing hardware failures, working with vendors, and taking complete responsibility for hardware performance.
