Mechanical Engineer (Robotics)

In short

This role designs and prototypes mechanical hardware components for humanoid robot development platforms, using 3D CAD, FEA/MATLAB simulation, and ASME GD&T drawings. The company builds robots and requires hands-on experience with actuators (strain-wave, planetary, or cycloidal) and electromechanical integration (sensors, motors, motor drivers, wire harnesses). It demands 3+ years of mechanical engineering experience and a relevant engineering degree, working onsite with suppliers and test stands.

About the Role
You will design hardware components in 3D CAD, build and test prototypes, and create production drawings. You will work with suppliers, inspect first articles, build test stands, and support parts on robot development platforms.
Requirements
•3+ years of mechanical engineering experience
•Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Biomechanical, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a similar field
•Expertise using 3D CAD software for complex geometry
•Experience designing and building prototypes
•Experience with simulation and analysis methods, including FEA and MATLAB
•Ability to write and maintain design-process documentation
•Experience with strain-wave, planetary, or cycloidal actuators
•Experience with electromechanical integration, including sensors, motors, motor drivers, wire harnesses, and communication buses
Responsibilities
•Design parts in 3D CAD that meet load, form-factor, and durability requirements
•Build prototypes to test assembly, range of motion, and wire routing
•Generate 2D drawings using GD&T per ASME Y14.5
•Work with the GSM team to select suppliers and order parts
•Inspect first articles, build test stands, and support part development on robot platforms
