About the role

About the Role

Join a hands-on hardware team developing autonomous robots for industrial environments. You will take mechanical subsystems from concept through working prototype, helping bring robotic systems from demonstration to practical deployment.

What You'll Do

  • Own mechanical subsystem design from initial sketches through prototyping and iteration, selecting materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods.
  • Design parts and assemblies in CAD, using hand calculations and FEA to inform engineering decisions.
  • Build and iterate on prototypes using 3D printers, shop tools, and CNC equipment.
  • Integrate mechanical designs with motors, sensors, electronics, and actuators on robotic arms and mobile bases.
  • Collaborate with electrical, software, and robotics teams to develop complete autonomous systems for real-world deployment.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to five years of mechanical hardware design experience, including work on 6DOF robot arms or comparable multi-axis robotic systems.
  • A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or equivalent CAD tools.
  • Experience taking physical robot prototypes from concept to working hardware, including mechanisms, joints, drivetrains, or end effectors.
  • Hands-on fabrication experience with 3D printing, CNC machining, and shop tools, in addition to 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 end to end and make progress in a fast-moving, hands-on team.

Compensation & Benefits

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

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California, United States.
