JOB-2139
A venture-backed robotics company building general-purpose robots with integrated actuators is hiring a hands-on mechanical or mechatronics engineer to own the architecture of its integrated actuators.
Scope
- Define actuator requirements from robot loads and duty cycles: torque, speed, stiffness, life, packaging and thermal limits
- Own trade studies across motor topology, transmission, bearings, cooling, sensing and drive constraints
- Set mechanical, electrical and firmware interfaces, including limits, sensor placement and fault responses
- Lead prototype builds, CAD and analysis reviews and hands-on bench debugging
- Drive design reviews, supplier decisions and DFM through production release
About you
- 6+ years as a mechanical or mechatronics engineer with in-house design experience
- Delivered an integrated actuator, servo or electromechanical drive into a production or deployed product
- Working knowledge of motors, transmissions, thermal behavior, sensors and drive limits
- Experience with high torque-density or backdrivable actuators and compact liquid-cooled assemblies
- Nice to have: robot joints, industrial drives, EV drive units or aerospace actuators
On-site in Fremont, CA (no relocation support). Base plus 15-20% bonus. Visa transfers and sponsorship available.
