About the role

About the Role

Join a hands-on robotics hardware team designing autonomous systems for industrial environments. You will take mechanical subsystems from concept through working prototype, helping turn robotic systems into practical infrastructure.

What You'll Do

  • Own mechanical subsystem design from initial sketches through prototyping, testing, and iteration.
  • Design parts and assemblies in CAD, using calculations and FEA to guide materials, tolerances, and manufacturing choices.
  • Fabricate and iterate on prototypes using 3D printers, CNC equipment, and shop tools.
  • Integrate mechanical designs with motors, sensors, electronics, and actuators on robotic arms and mobile platforms.
  • Work with electrical, software, and robotics teams to deliver 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, hands-on team.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or equivalent CAD tools, plus experience with FEA or topology optimization.
  • A bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
  • Hands-on fabrication experience with 3D printing, CNC machining, and shop tools, along with experience integrating mechatronic systems.
  • Ability to own subsystems end to end and make progress in a fast-moving, lightly structured environment.

Compensation & Benefits

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

Location

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