Mechanical Engineer (On-site)
Job description
At Standard Bots, we're revolutionizing real-world automation by making robotic systems accessible to everyone. Our AI-powered platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface, bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces.
Job responsibilities
- Design parts and assemblies in SolidWorks — sheet metal, machined parts, 3D prints, and off-the-shelf hardware — and release drawings with correct tolerances and callouts
- Build and test prototypes: order parts, assemble, instrument, run tests, and document results
- Do first-pass engineering analysis (loads, stress, deflection, fastener sizing) and know when to ask for a deeper look
- Support cross-functional builds with EE, software, and test — fixtures, mounts, cable routing, quick fixes on the floor
- Keep BOMs, drawings, and PDM records accurate through fast design iterations
- Learn the product deeply: assemble robots, tear them down, and find out what breaks
Job requirements
- Experience: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related, and 0–3 years of hands-on hardware experience (internships and project teams count)
- Fundamentals: Solid grasp of statics, strength of materials, materials selection, and GD&T basics
- Tool Fluency: Proficient in SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings; comfortable with a 3D printer, basic machine tools, and hand tools
- Hands-on: You've assembled, tested, and debugged something physical and can show it
- Clarity of Communication: You write clear test notes and design summaries and ask for help early
- Growth + Optimism: Excited by new domains and challenges, and eager to pick up new context fast
- Excelling in Ambitious Environments: You thrive in a fast-moving team with changing requirements and tight timelines
