Responsibilities

Own mechanical assemblies across their full lifecycle: design, prototyping, testing, documentation, release, and support in production and field environments

Work side-by-side with technicians and robot operators to observe real behavior, diagnose issues, and drive mechanical improvements grounded in field reality

Design hardware that is robust, simple to assemble, tolerant to operator variability, and maintainable at scale (fixtures, brackets, enclosures, EOAT, strain relief systems, cable routing, etc.)

Apply sound GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, fastening strategy, alignment features, and material selection to ensure consistent builds and high reliability

Iterate quickly: prototype, test, measure, refine, and close the loop with manufacturing feedback to continuously improve product quality and throughput

Partner with electrical, controls, supply chain, quality, and field service teams to ensure designs integrate cleanly across the entire robot system

Create clear, concise engineering documentation—drawings, revision-controlled BOMs, WIs, ECOs, and specifications that support accurate and repeatable builds

Drive manufacturing excellence by simplifying assemblies, improving build sequencing, reducing cycle time, and elevating craftsmanship expectations across the team

Support safety across all mechanical and electromechanical designs, accounting for guarding, load paths, strain relief, pinch points, grounding, and stability

Act as a system-level thinker, proactively identifying upstream and downstream impacts and ensuring alignment with operational, electrical, and robotics engineering needs

Qualification

Mechanical EngineeringSolidWorksGD&TCNC MachiningElectromechanical IntegrationDocumentation DisciplineCommunication SkillsHands-on ExperienceOwnership Mindset

Required

2–7 years of experience in mechanical, electromechanical, manufacturing, or robotics engineering (startup or hardware product environment strongly preferred)

Strong foundational mechanical engineering skills: GD&T, tolerance analysis, mechanisms, fastening, materials, thermal considerations, structural thinking

High proficiency with SolidWorks (or similar) including assemblies, configurations, drawings, and manufacturable CAD

Demonstrated ability to be hands-on: assembling hardware, diagnosing mechanical issues, inspecting builds, performing root-cause analysis, and validating designs physically—not just in simulation

Experience designing for CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, additive manufacturing, and creating production-ready drawings and BOMs

Experience collaborating closely with electrical and controls engineers; comfortable integrating PCBs, sensors, cabling, connectors, and electromechanical components

Strong documentation discipline: clean, accurate ECOs, version control, structured BOMs, and unambiguous drawings and work instructions

Excellent communication skills—able to clearly convey issues, design intent, risks, and test results to technical and non-technical teams

A mindset of ownership, urgency, and craftsmanship. You care deeply about the quality of the hardware you build and how it performs in the field

Preferred

Experience with industrial automation, robotic arms, EOAT, vision systems, or mechatronics

Experience with DFMEA, PFMEA, fault-tree analysis, and structured RCA

Experience operating in fast-moving environments where designs must evolve quickly

Familiarity with motion systems or robot safety principles
