Mechanical Engineer, Robotics

Responsible for designing and developing mechanical assemblies for a humanoid body, including joints, actuators, sensor mounts, and structural members

Create detailed 3D part drawings and assembly models using CAD tools such as Solidworks across various materials including plastics, metals, and composites

Conduct hands-on testing such as load testing, fatigue cycling, thermal soak, and kinematic validation for body segments

Participate in DFM reviews with contract manufacturers and understand tooling constraints, cycle times, and failure modes during production

Develop and maintain production drawings with GD&T and inspection callouts for handoff to manufacturing partners and quality assurance

Set up and instrument test stands, wire sensors, and collect data to analyze failure modes and refine design iterations

Select appropriate materials and joining methods for plastics, metals, and composites based on loading conditions and production requirements

Collaborate with firmware and electrical teams to integrate actuators, sensors, and PCBs into mechanical assemblies, ensuring proper cable routing, connector access, and serviceability

Contribute to open-source hardware and design efforts, including providing build guides, BOM documentation, assembly instructions, and CAD releases for the broader robotics community.
