About the role

About the Role

Join a small, hands-on robotics hardware team designing autonomous systems for industrial environments. You will own mechanical subsystems from initial concept through working prototype, helping move robotic systems from demonstration to real-world deployment.

What You'll Do

  • Design and iterate mechanical subsystems, selecting materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods.
  • Create CAD parts and assemblies, using hand calculations and FEA to inform designs for rapid prototyping.
  • Build prototypes with 3D printers, CNC equipment, and shop tools, then test and refine them.
  • Integrate mechanical components with motors, sensors, electronics, and actuators on robotic arms and mobile bases.
  • Work with electrical, software, and robotics teams to develop complete autonomous systems for deployment.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to five years of professional experience designing mechanical hardware for 6DOF robot arms or comparable multi-axis robotic systems.
  • Experience taking physical robot prototypes from concept to working hardware, including mechanisms, joints, drivetrains, or end effectors.
  • Professional robotics design experience and a track record of shipping hardware on a startup or small team.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent CAD tools.
  • A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Hands-on fabrication experience with 3D printing, CNC machining, and shop tools.
  • Experience integrating motors, sensors, or actuators; familiarity with FEA or topology optimization is useful.
  • Ability to own subsystems independently and work effectively in a fast-moving environment.
  • Authorization to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Compensation & Benefits

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

Location

On-site in San Francisco, California.
