Senior Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer

About the Company We’re a venture-backed robotics and automation company developing intelligent hardware and software systems to solve complex real-world engineering challenges. Our multidisciplinary team brings together expertise across mechanical engineering, robotics, software, electronics and AI to build next-generation autonomous systems. From early-stage concept development through commercial deployment, we focus on creating robust, high-performance products designed for demanding operating environments. Joining our team offers the opportunity to work on technically challenging problems, influence product direction, and help bring innovative robotic technologies from concept into production.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to play a key role in the design and development of complex mechatronic systems for next-generation robotic products. This is a highly hands-on position suited to an engineer who enjoys taking ideas from concept through prototype and into production. You’ll contribute across the entire product development lifecycle while working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams in a fast-moving startup environment.

The role offers significant technical ownership, autonomy and the opportunity to influence both product architecture and engineering processes as the company scales.

• Design complex mechanical and mechatronic assemblies from concept through production release.
• Develop elegant, manufacturable solutions that balance performance, reliability and cost.
• Select and integrate motion systems, actuators, sensors and mechanical components.
• Produce detailed CAD models, engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation.
• Build, assemble and validate prototypes through hands-on testing and iterative development.

• Apply engineering analysis to validate mechanical designs, including structural and performance evaluations.
• Perform root-cause analysis and troubleshoot complex electromechanical systems.
• Support design verification, product validation and transition into manufacturing.
• Drive continuous improvement across product performance, reliability and manufacturability.

• Maintain high standards for design documentation, reviews and engineering quality.
• Work closely with manufacturing partners and suppliers to support efficient product development and production.
• Contribute to the development of scalable engineering processes and best practices.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver fully integrated robotic systems.
• Support system integration alongside software, controls, electrical and systems engineers.
• Participate in technical discussions, design reviews and product planning activities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics Engineering or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of professional experience developing mechanical or mechatronic products.
• Proven experience taking complex electromechanical systems from concept through production.
• Strong understanding of motion systems, actuators, mechanical assemblies and sensing technologies.
• Experience performing engineering analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA).
• Proficiency with modern CAD software such as Onshape, Solid Works or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T and manufacturing documentation.
• Experience using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and engineering change processes.
• Demonstrated ability to prototype, test and troubleshoot complex mechanical systems.
• Excellent communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.

• Master’s or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics or a related field.
• Experience applying Design for Manufacturing (DfM) principles.
• Strong background in dynamics, kinematics, vibration analysis or simulation.
• Experience performing load calculations and analytical modelling of mechanical systems.
• Familiarity with industrial automation or robotic control systems.
• Experience establishing engineering documentation standards, CAD workflows or product development processes.
• Experience with MATLAB, Python or similar technical computing tools.
