About the role

About the Role

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

What You'll Do

  • Own mechanical subsystem design from initial sketches through prototyping and iteration, selecting appropriate materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods.
  • Create CAD parts and assemblies, supported by hand calculations and FEA, and optimize designs for rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and CNC machining.
  • 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.
  • Work closely with electrical, software, and robotics teams to develop autonomous systems for production 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, and shipping robotics hardware in a startup or small team.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or equivalent CAD tools.
  • A BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, plus hands-on fabrication experience with 3D printing, CNC machining, and shop tools.
  • Experience owning subsystems end to end, working independently in a fast-moving environment, and integrating motors, sensors, or actuators.
  • Experience with FEA or topology optimization is valuable.

Compensation & Benefits

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

Location

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