Mechanical Design Structures Engineer

Structures Engineer

You will design the structural skeleton of the hand system — the palms, fingers, linkages, and housings that must survive real-world abuse while holding the precision that fine manipulation demands.

• Design the structural architecture of the hand — palm, fingers, linkages, and pivots
• Own design-for-manufacturing of structural parts, including die-cast and injection-molded components, from prototype through production
• Integrate thermal paths with the actuation system so dense actuator packages stay within limits
• Engineer for robustness: the hand must tolerate impacts, drops, and sustained real-world abuse
• Hold the precision required for fine motor control and repeatable grasping
• Design lightweight, body-safe structures for wearable devices

• Experience with die-cast and injection-mold part design, including DFM for volume production
• Thermal design experience, especially integrating heat paths with actuators in dense packages
• Strong background in linkage, pivot, and small-mechanism design
• Proven ability to design robust systems that tolerate impact and sustained abuse
• Ability to design for precision where it matters, enabling fine motor control and reliable grasping

• Experience with wearable or body-worn product structures
• Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance-stack analysis for small mechanisms
