Mechanical Engineer, Robotics (CONVOY)
Job description
We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.
The Convoy team, a specialized group within the Robot Mechanical Engineering team, is working on developing a first-of-its-kind brain-controlled assistive robotic arm (ARA). Our focus is on developing high-dimensional neural control of hardware, specifically robotic arms and hands. We design and integrate robotics systems, work directly with our clinical trial participants, and collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, electrical, and BCI engineers.
Job responsibilities
- Designing and integrating robot mechanical and electrical components and assemblies with a heavy emphasis on usability and safety
- Collaborating with clinical trial participants, neuroscientists, biologists, and engineers to establish design criteria
- Rapidly and effectively building systems to meet project goals
- Applying analytical methods, including calculations and simulations, for the design and optimization of structures and mechanical components
- Actively driving every phase of device launch, from hands-on early feasibility prototyping through manufacturing release
Job requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in one of the following disciplines or equivalent experience: Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics
- Strong understanding of engineering first principles
- Minimum of 3 years of mechanical engineering industry experience, including internships and project teams where you owned products from concept to production
- Proficient in 3D CAD
- Experience with robotic systems such as robot arms, grippers, actuators, human-robot interaction
- Multidisciplinary experience in robotics software and control (e.g., Python, ROS, MATLAB, control theory)
- Electrical engineering proficiency (e.g., PCB design, wire harnessing, circuit design)
- Proficiency with conventional machining and rapid prototyping technologies
