Who We Are:

We build the intelligence that lets robots sense, reason, and act in the real world-moving beyond the lab and into everyday industrial settings like warehouses and factories. Our technology closes the automation gaps that traditional systems can't solve. We are on a mission to redefine how physical work gets done, and we're looking for curious, bold thinkers to help shape the future of robotics with us.
Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and architecture of innovative systems and components for our AI-driven robots. In this role, you will tackle our most complex mechanical challenges, and take ownership of the product lifecycle from concept to production. You will drive cross-functional collaboration with electrical and software teams, oversee and optimize architectures for scalability, cost, and high-volume manufacturability.
Your Responsibilities:

Design and Testing:
  • Lead the design and architectural definition of complex mechanical systems and components for AI-driven robots.
  • Create, review, and approve highly detailed 3D models and technical drawings for fabrication, ensuring best practices in GD&T.
  • Drive collaboration with engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration and resolve complex cross-disciplinary technical bottlenecks.
  • Define and oversee advanced mechanical simulations, reliability testing, and performance validations.
  • Optimize mechanical architectures for cost, efficiency, and transition to mass production (DFM/DFA).
Qualifications & Requirements:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computational Mechanics, Engineering Science or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, ideally in robotics or automation.
  • Experience in industrial design or special purpose machinery is a plus
  • Proficiency with CAD tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo or similar.
  • Understanding of mechanical testing and prototyping processes.
  • Strong knowledge of material properties, manufacturing methods, and system integration.
  • Proven track record of taking hardware products through the entire lifecycle, from initial concept to successful commercial production.
  • Willingness to travel 25% desirable

Skills
  • Expert proficiency with CAD tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar, as well as PDM/PLM systems.
  • Deep understanding of advanced mechanical testing, rapid prototyping, and reliability engineering.
  • Strong, expert-level knowledge of material properties, advanced manufacturing methods, and complex system integration.

Our interview plan:
  • Application
  • Take-home assignment: You'll work on a short, role-relevant task with clear instructions and a deadline.
  • Cultural fit interview (40 min): A conversation about how you work, what motivates you, and what you're looking for. Expect CV highlights, your "why," and time for your questions.
  • Technical fit interview (45 min): A deeper dive into your skills and problem-solving approach for this role.
  • On-site visit: Meet the team in our office and collaborate on a real challenge similar to the work you'd do here. You'll also meet a founder; we aim to give you a clear feel for the role and environment.

What We Offer:
  • Wellpass (gym membership)
  • Flexible working hours
  • Free Snacks and Beverages
  • A motivated team and an open corporate culture
  • Competitive compensation and excellent career development opportunities

Note to applicants: We are currently experiencing a high volume of interest in this role. Due to this, our review process is taking a bit longer than usual. We appreciate your patience.
