Mechanical

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own mechanical design for core subsystems, from initial concept through high-volume production.
• Prototype rapidly and iterate based on real-world testing and failure analysis.
• Design custom mechanisms, actuators, and assemblies for high-performance robotic behavior.
• Collaborate closely with electrical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to integrate full electro-mechanical systems.
• Drive DFM, tolerance analysis, material selection, and vendor coordination for volume manufacturing.
• Move quickly and independently to deliver robust, production-ready hardware.

Job requirements

• Extremely strong mechanical intuition — you understand how parts, forces, tolerances, and mechanisms behave instinctively.
• Ability to design and prototype on aggressive timelines, moving quickly from concept to functional hardware.
• Experience building reliable products that shipped at scale, with a clear understanding of manufacturing constraints and real-world robustness.
• Experience working directly with contract manufacturers (CMs) and personally designing components for volume processes: Injection molding
• Die casting
• Stamping / sheet metal
• Extrusion
• Powder metal / MIM
