About the Role

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic engineer to join our mechanical team. They will be expected to design, prototype, test, release, and coordinate manufacturing of novel solutions to robotics problems. In addition to design duties, the candidate will be expected to smoothly interface across functions, including with supply chain, customers, investors and internal leadership.

The candidate must be capable of working both autonomously and with the broader engineering team to ensure cohesive system design. Our engineers work quickly and enthusiastically to turn team and client feedback into improved engineering solutions.

The candidate would also be expected to be involved in recruitment and help expand our engineering team or build new teams to meet the company’s engineering goals.

Responsibilities of the role will include, but are not limited to:

Take inputs from customers (both internal and external) and generate sub-system requirements.

Utilize a set of requirements to design elegant solutions both quickly and carefully, independently preempting issues of manufacturability and future maintenance.

Transform tested conceptual solutions into robust product designs in coordination with engineering, operations, customers, and contract manufacturers.

Design and release components and systems using NX and Teamcenter.

Develop production and support documentation including bills of material (BOMs), assembly drawings, and maintenance instructions.

Perform test and verification of prototype systems.

Perform system design analyses, including reliability, design-for-manufacture, design-for-assembly, cost-downs, etc.

Coordinate engineering efforts across the mechanical engineering team.

Mentor junior engineers, help improve designs, and inculcate a production mindset.

Desired

Skills:

Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering.

8+ years of related work experience, including taking advanced designs from initial concept through scale production.

Significant experience using 3D CAD, preferably NX - including 2D drawings and simulations.

Experience designing motion control systems with sensors, actuators and complex mechanisms.

A working knowledge of ASME and ISO drafting standards including GD&T (Y14.5-2009).

A working knowledge of DFM/A and statistical tolerance analysis.

A working knowledge of failure avoidance methods including DFMEA/PFMEA and fault tree analysis.

Able to work with customers and contract manufacturers.

Able to manage multiple projects and engineering teams concurrently.

High level of technical writing proficiency (specs, test plans, reports, white papers, etc.).

Familiarity with electrical design and integration (cable harnesses, wiring diagrams) is a plus.

Have worked in mid-to-large sized teams (5-20 people) and mentored junior engineers to build production-grade systems.

Personal

Qualifications:

Proven ability to work in a high-paced startup environment.

Curiosity, tenacity, and perseverance to ensure on-time and high-quality deliverables, with a willingness to challenge the status quo and drive improvements.

Attention to detail in the context of general engineering, testing, and debugging.

Ability to communicate to all levels of the organization across all mediums (written, verbal, presentation, etc.).

Base pay is one element of our Total Rewards package which may also include comprehensive benefits and equity etc., depending on eligibility. The annual base salary range for this position is from $150,000 to $190,000. The actual base pay offered will be determined on factors such as years of relevant experience, skills, education etc. Decisions will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
