We believe research and deployment should improve each other: real-world operation reveals the problems worth solving, and better technology makes robots more useful. Join a team where your designs, experiments, and code have a direct impact on physical systems.\nOur Culture\nWe value technical excellence, collaboration, and respect. Engineers take ownership, make tradeoffs explicit, and help colleagues do better work. We move quickly through building, testing, and learning from what happens on the robot.\nAbout the Role\nOwn complex mechanical subsystems that make robot manipulation and data collection work. You will turn uncertain requirements into mechanisms, end effectors, fixtures, and sensor assemblies, then carry those designs through fabrication, integration, validation, and repeatable builds.\nThis is a hands-on design role. You will define the approach within your scope, work closely with electrical, software, and research colleagues, and stay responsible for the reliability and maintainability of the hardware you build.\nResponsibilities\nTranslate manipulation and data-collection goals into mechanical requirements, interface definitions, and validation plans.\nDesign complex parts and assemblies in CAD, including actuated mechanisms, end effectors, mounts, enclosures, and fixtures.\nJustify actuator, material, bearing, fastener, and process choices using load, stiffness, tolerance, wear, and packaging requirements.\nBuild and test prototypes; use measurements and failure analysis to guide rapid, methodical iteration.\nAnticipate integration risks with sensors, wiring, electronics, and control software and drive their resolution.\nDeliver drawings, bills of materials, assembly instructions, and acceptance tests for repeatable fabrication and handoff.\nFollow build and operating feedback after delivery, resolve reliability issues, and improve design-review and documentation practices.\nRequirements\nEvidence of independently owning complex mechanical design work through fabrication, integrated testing, and sustained use.\nStrong 3D CAD, engineering drawings, tolerance analysis, and practical application of GD&T.\nSound mechanics and the ability to justify design choices with calculations, analysis, and experiment.\nHands-on skill in prototyping and assembly, and practical understanding of machining and manufacturing processes.\nAbility to explain a failed design, the evidence that isolated the cause, and the iteration that resolved it.\nAbility to coordinate across disciplines, communicate risks early, and produce documentation others can build from.\nNice to have\nRobot end effectors, precision or compliant mechanisms, or other actuated hardware.\nTaking prototypes into repeatable production and using field feedback to improve reliability.\nMechatronics, sensor integration, FEA, or basic controls and programming.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nDefine and validate an agreed subsystem with clear mechanical and software interfaces.\nDeliver a reliable integrated build and resolve the largest uncertainties through targeted experiments.\nMake fabrication, assembly, maintenance, and subsequent iterations repeatable for other team members.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3267,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics
