Full-time
Reliability Design Engineer - Motors, Mechanisms and Electronics
Job description
Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.
Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to "full self-driving in the home” with real-time 3D mapping, adaptive path-tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.
Job responsibilities
- Design, fabricate, and iterate electromechanical test rigs, fixtures, and automated setups that reproduce field failure modes and stress our designs to failure
- Build accelerated life, fatigue, vibration and shock, and temperature and humidity tests across motors, mechanisms, and electronics
- Wire up and integrate the actuators, motor drivers, sensors, and data acquisition that bring each test setup to life and capture clean, analyzable failure data
- Write scripts to automate test execution and data logging so tests run reliably and repeatably at volume
- Partner with reliability engineers to translate physics of failure and field insight into representative test methods
- Support root cause failure analysis by designing the apparatus and experiments that isolate failure mechanisms
- Create and maintain CAD models, drawings, and documentation for all test equipment
- Scale and maintain the reliability lab as our fleet, hardware versions, and test volume grow
