  • Experience with gear design software (KISSsoft, MASTA, ROMAX, or equivalent)
  • Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on gear/power transmission systems
  • Experience designing compact, high-torque-density gear trains for robotics or aerospace applications
  • Familiarity with AGMA/ISO gear standards and rating methods
