    Description

    About the Role

    Join a hands-on hardware team developing autonomous robots for industrial environments. You will take mechanical subsystems from initial concept through working prototypes, helping bring robotic systems from demonstrations to real-world deployment.

    What You'll Do

    • Own mechanical subsystem design from sketches through prototypes and iterations, selecting materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods.

    • Design parts and assemblies in CAD, supported by hand calculations and FEA, for rapid prototyping and fabrication.

    • Build and iterate on hardware using 3D printers, shop tools, and CNC equipment.

    • Integrate mechanical designs with motors, sensors, electronics, and actuators on robotic arms and mobile bases.

    • Work with electrical, software, and robotics teams to develop complete autonomous systems for deployment.

    What We're Looking For

    • Two to five years of professional experience designing mechanical hardware for six-degree-of-freedom robot arms or comparable multi-axis robotic systems.

    • Experience taking physical robot prototypes from concept to working hardware, including mechanisms, joints, drivetrains, or end effectors.

    • Experience shipping robotics hardware in a startup or small, hands-on team.

    • Proficiency with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or equivalent CAD tools.

    • A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

    • Hands-on fabrication experience with 3D printing, CNC machining, and shop tools, alongside CAD and simulation work.

    • Experience integrating mechatronic systems, with motors, sensors, or actuators; FEA or topology optimization experience is also relevant.

    • Ability to own subsystems independently and work effectively in a fast-moving, lightly structured environment.

    Compensation & Benefits

    Base salary: $150,000 to $250,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
