Member of Technical Staff - Robotics Mechanical Engineer, Frontier AI & Robotics

Job description

We are seeking a Member of Technical Staff — Mechanical Engineer to lead the structural and electromechanical design of advanced high degree-of-freedom robotic systems within a frontier AI and robotics research lab. You will own the mechanical architecture of our robotics platform end-to-end: actuator selection, joint design, thermal management, cable routing, sensing integration, and structural optimization — all under the demanding constraints of a high-DoF system that must be lightweight, robust, and production-viable. This is a unique opportunity to define the physical design direction of a next-generation robotics platform from first principles.

The ideal candidate has deep experience…

Job requirements

  • Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans and functional test procedures
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
  • 6 to 10+ years in designing mechanical systems for robotics or complex electromechanical products.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, OnShape, or equivalent).
  • Hands-on experience building prototypes, integrating hardware, and troubleshooting mechanical/electromechanical issues.
  • Understanding of actuator and motor selection for complex robotic applications, including sizing for torque, speed, and thermal performance.
  • Experience with wire/cable harness design and routing in compact mechanical systems.
  • Familiarity with integrating sensing and compute elements into mechanical designs.
