The Mechatronics Engineer will be located onsite in Pueblo, CO and reports to the Production Technology Development Engineering Manager. This role is responsible for designing, integrating, commissioning, and sustaining mechatronic systems — spanning mechanical, electrical, and software domains — in support of solid rocket motor production and energetic materials manufacturing at Voyager Energetics. With 3–5 years of hands-on experience, this individual brings a strong technical foundation, a bias for action, and the drive to take on increasing ownership in a fast-paced, mission-driven manufacturing environment.
In this role, the essential functions are:
Design, build, and commission mechatronic systems — including robotic handling, custom end-effectors, motion control, sensor integration, and electromechanical assemblies — to support production of solid rocket motors and energetic materials.
Maintain, troubleshoot, and continuously improve existing automated systems across the production floor to maximize uptime, process reliability, and throughput.
Integrate hardware components — robots, actuators, sensors, and PLCs — with software control layers and data pipelines; develop and execute system validation plans including functional testing, acceptance testing (FAT/SAT), and associated documentation.
Author and maintain engineering documentation — including schematics, test records, validation reports, and change logs — in accordance with program and compliance requirements.
Identify and implement process improvements that reduce cycle time, error rates, and manual intervention across manufacturing operations.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Process Engineering, Safety, and Compliance teams to embed mechatronics solutions into all phases of the product lifecycle, from R&D development through full production.
Apply structured problem-solving and root cause analysis to resolve system failures and process deviations, supporting a strong safety and quality culture.
Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate design iteration, code generation, and troubleshooting workflows.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline with 3 years of experience in mechatronics, automation, or a related field OR Master's degree in a relevant field with 1 year of experience OR 7 years of hands-on mechatronics and automation experience in lieu of a degree.
Demonstrated hands-on experience designing, building, and commissioning mechatronic systems — including robotics, motion control, sensors, and electromechanical integration.
Experience integrating hardware across multiple subsystems including PLCs, sensors, actuators, and software control layers.
General programming aptitude with the ability to read, modify, and write control or scripting code…
