Mechanical Engineer - Robotics

Join an early-stage robotics company building autonomous systems designed to transform industrial automation. Backed by significant funding and operating with a small, high-calibre team, this is an opportunity to join at the ground floor and help shape both the technology and the company.

This role is ideal for hands-on builders who enjoy moving quickly, owning major technical challenges, and taking hardware from concept through deployment.

What’s in it for you?

• High ownership from day one – Design and build robotic hardware that directly impacts deployed systems. You won't inherit a small subsystem or become responsible for one narrow component.
• Build across the full hardware stack – Work on robotic arms, end-effectors, actuators, teleoperation systems, and custom assemblies.
• Move fast – Prototype and iterate in days or weeks, not months.
• Work alongside exceptional engineers – Collaborate with a lean team spanning hardware, ML, software, and deployment.
• Meaningful equity and above-market compensation – Strong rewards for engineers who want to build and own.
• Ground-floor opportunity – Influence architecture, engineering processes, and long-term technical direction at an early-stage company.

What you'll do

• Design and prototype robotic hardware systems
• Own actuator integration and mechanical design
• Perform FEA and structural analysis
• Build grippers, tooling, fixtures, and robotic assemblies
• Collaborate closely with software and ML teams
• Take designs from concept to deployment in industrial environments

Ideal background

• Mechanical engineering experience in robotics, hardware, aerospace, autonomous systems, or advanced products
• Strong CAD capability (Solid Works, Onshape, Fusion 360 or similar)
• Experience with prototyping, fabrication, and mechanical systems
• Builder mentality – personal projects, hardware portfolios, or evidence you genuinely enjoy creating things
