JOB-2114
A seed-stage robotics company building autonomous robots that build and maintain AI data center infrastructure is hiring a hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer to own hardware from first sketch to validated parts on the robot.
Responsibilities
- Own a subassembly and its parts through design, analysis, fabrication, assembly and validation
- Back decisions with hand calcs, tolerance stack-ups, fastener and material selection and basic FEA
- Build, assemble and test your own parts on fixtures and on the robot
- Turn a failed test into a revised part within the same week
- Partner with the wider engineering team on whatever is highest leverage
Qualifications
- Mechanical engineering degree and 24 years of mechanical design experience
- Has designed actuated mechanisms that move accurately and repeatably (actuators, motors, drives)
- Strong first-principles intuition and comfort with hand calcs and FEA
- Designs for steel and aluminum fabrication: machining, sheet metal, welding
- Robotics, aerospace or automotive electromechanical experience and small-team startup background are a plus
On-site in San Francisco, CA, 5 days a week. Open to visa transfers.
