Position Overview

The role of a mechatronics engineer sits at the intersection of electronics, mechanical engineering and automation, keeping espresso machines and grinders running reliably while also shaping new custom builds.

Key tasks and responsibilities

• Assesses the feasibility, componentry cost and performance of new cart and machine configurations before committing to a build by bench-testing prototypes, trialling alternative pumps, boilers or control components, and recommending design or cost changes.
• Produce CAD designs and technical drawings for custom coffee carts and bespoke machine configurations.
• Design the pneumatic, hydraulic (water/steam) and control-system layout for each build, selecting boilers, pumps, valves and electronic controllers to meet the specification.
• Develop and track a project schedule for each build or refurbishment job (e.g. using Gantt charts) against cost and delivery targets.
• Select, install and wire electronic control components such as pressure stats, solenoids, PID/temperature controllers, flow meters for new builds and full machine refurbishments.
• Program and calibrate control systems to achieve target brew temperature, boiler pressure and steam performance.
• Diagnose and repair faults in the electronic and mechanical systems of machines brought in for service or repair.
• Operate and program the CNC router/edge bander to produce cart panels and componentry to the design specification.
• Oversee assembly of custom coffee carts and rebuilt machines, including plumbing, electrical wiring and panel fitting.
• Coordinate with the powder-coating and fabrication stages of the refurbishment process to ensure components meet design tolerances.
• Bench-test every rebuilt or newly built unit - calibrate brew temperature and boiler pressure, test solenoids, flow rates and back pressure, and verify pump performance.
• Carry out pressure and leak testing under load and final pre-delivery quality checks before a machine or cart is shipped or installed.
• Evaluate new componentry (pumps, boilers, control systems) for cost, reliability and performance before adopting it into CME's builds.
• Prepare cost estimates and budgets for custom builds and larger refurbishment jobs.
• Recommend design or process improvements to reduce cost, waste or turnaround time across the workshop.

Qualifications

• Bachelors’ or higher qualification in Engineering
• Minimum one year of relevant work experience
• Product design, development and testing; automation
• Development and testing
