You’ll take ownership of mechanical design for robotic hands and actuation modules, selecting key components (actuators, bearings, sensors, structural materials), and turning concepts into robust hardware through 3D printing, CNC machining, and other fabrication methods. You’ll define and run test plans, interpret results, and iterate rapidly with a tight‑knit R&D team.

Qualifications

• 7+ years designing and building robotic systems (ideally robotic hands or highly actuated mechanisms)

• Deep CAD expertise (Onshape, Solid Works, or similar)

• Proven experience with actuators using frameless motors and custom gear trains

• Strong understanding of tolerances, precision assembly, and basic FEA for strength/deformation

• A very hands‑on approach to prototyping, fabrication, and assembly

If you’re interested in shaping the mechanical foundation of highly dexterous robots in a small, world‑class team.
