**Advisory Mechanical / Hardware Engineer** Ricoh USA — Boulder R&D

**About the Role**

Versatile hardware engineer for a small Boulder R&D team working across inkjet, robotics, machine vision, and renewable energy programs. You'll contribute to mechanical and electromechanical design from benchtop proof-of-concept through production hardware, including:

+ A renewable energy program advancing next-generation solar cell manufacturing
+ A UR-based collaborative palletizing system on a path to CE marking and contract manufacturing
+ Continuous-feed inkjet inspection platforms and their expansion across our automation product roadmap

When mechanical workload ebbs, you'll flex into software: Python and C++ for robotics, image processing, and high-throughput image processing pipelines. We're all-in on Claude Code for software and hardware work — comfort with agentic AI tooling is a real differentiator.
