Mechatronics Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 16, 2026. First seen by Alion on Mar 24, 2026.
We make personal AI robots - general-purpose physical machines that anyone can teach with code, language and demonstrations.
We believe building open platforms like the first PCs this is the only way to bring the robotics future that we all want, where everyone can participate in the robotics revolution.
About the role
We are looking for a generalist mechatronics engineer who has built and shipped hardware and feels confident working on a consumer product.
On any given day you might lay out a PCB, design a mechanical part, and write firmware. You will work across electronics, mechanics, and software, bringing designs through prototyping, testing, and production.
What we look for
- PCB design, high-speed digital systems, and power electronics.
- CAD and rapid prototyping.
- Embedded C and microcontrollers.
- Coding and debugging in C or Python.
Experience with CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, RF or signal integrity, BOMs, supply chains, and FPGAs is a plus. You do not need to meet every requirement; we value fast learners with strong evidence of building.
You enjoy hard problems, building for the real world, collaborating closely with a small team, and tackling new challenges every week.
You will design and build the physical systems that make our robots work and help shape the product around customers' needs. Share examples of hardware you have built and explain your personal contribution.
This is a full-time role, on-site in Palo Alto, California. We sponsor visas.
Salary: $150,000-$180,000 per year.
