Mechanical Engineer (Robotics)

We are partnering with a robotics company building complex electro-mechanical systems where mechanical design directly determines real-world performance. This role is for someone who doesnt just design parts, but owns motion, reliability, and scale .

What Youll Do

  • Own the end-to-end mechanical design of complex electro-mechanical systems with moving parts
  • Design and prototype custom mechanisms and actuators under aggressive timelines
  • Drive concepts from first prototype through high-volume production
  • Personally design parts for volume manufacturing processes , including :
  • Injection molding
  • Die casting
  • Stamping / sheet metal
  • Extrusion
  • Powder metal / MIM
  • Partner closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) to ensure DFM, reliability, and cost targets are met
  • Build systems that are not just elegant but robust, testable, and shippable at scale

What Were Looking For

  • Exceptionally strong mechanical intuition, you understand how things move, fail, and improve
  • Proven ability to design and prototype quickly without sacrificing rigor
  • Track record of shipping reliable, hardware products at scale
  • Deep hands-on experience designing custom mechanisms, joints, transmissions, and actuators
  • Experience owning mechanical architecture for complex systems with dynamic loads and tight tolerances
  • Comfortable operating across ambiguity, tight timelines, and high expectations

    • Required Background

  • Currently working at a robotics company (hands-on mechanical role)
  • Background in electro-mechanical systems with real moving parts (not CAD-only work)
  • Experience taking designs from concept prototype volume production

    • Ideal Signals

  • Designed robotic arms, legs, mobile platforms, end-effectors, or actuation systems
  • Personally responsible for motor selection, gearing, kinematics, or load paths
  • Close collaboration with electrical and controls teams
  • Bias for execution and ownership over documentation and theory
