Job Description:

Mechanical Engineer

We are a cutting-edge technology company transforming the manufacturing industry by leveraging the latest advancements in software, robotics, and perception systems. By automating complex tasks that typically require human-level dexterity in unstructured environments, we're redefining what's possible in modern production.


We are seeking a passionate Mechanical Engineer with at least 5 years of experience to join our team. In this role, you will design, develop, test, and deploy innovative hardware solutions that power our next-generation robotic systems on customer sites.


About You

  • Enjoy solving complex engineering problems in a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment.
  • Comfortable working with ambiguity in design requirements and real-world conditions.
  • Apply strong engineering fundamentals to identify root causes and solve tough challenges.
  • Take pride in seeing your designs through to production and customer implementation.


What You'll Do

  • Lead mechanical hardware design from concept through production, collaborating with software, electrical, systems, testing, supply chain, and customer-facing teams.
  • Develop customer-facing product requirements for large-scale mechanical and electromechanical systems.
  • Clearly communicate complex technical information to customers, ensuring alignment on design goals, trade-offs, and expectations.
  • Define internal performance metrics for structural, thermal, mechanical, and control systems involving pneumatics, vacuum, hydraulics, and electrical components.
  • Design and optimize systems using 3D CAD software.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation, including 2D drawings and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
  • Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure manufacturability and functionality of complex assemblies.
  • Promote and maintain best practices in data management and documentation quality.
  • Design and deploy End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) for robotic applications.
  • Create compute enclosures that address vibration, cooling, ingress protection, harnessing, and serviceability.
  • Integrate sensors, cameras, and lighting solutions into mechanical designs.
  • Generate wiring harness schematics for manufacturing use.
  • Select and source commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components balancing technical and cost constraints.
  • Validate mechanical components through rigorous testing procedures.
  • Develop test fixtures and simulate customer manufacturing environments.
  • Provide hands-on guidance on the floor to support:
  • First article inspections
  • Hardware readiness for deployment
  • Inventory management


What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Proven track record of delivering designs on schedule.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to respond quickly to engineering challenges.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD tools with adaptability to new software platforms.
  • Solid understanding of mechanical design principles including mechanisms, structural analysis, and thermal management.
  • Experience with control systems that incorporate pneumatics, hydraulics, vacuum systems, and electromechanical components.
  • Basic understanding of electrical systems to support harness and control system design.
  • Experience solving thermal management challenges with both passive and active cooling strategies.
  • Attention to detail and strong documentation practices.
  • Willingness to conduct hands-on, on-site testing to ensure system-level success.


If you're excited about working on breakthrough technology that bridges hardware and robotics in real-world applications, we'd love to hear from you.
