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.
