** Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer - Atlas Actuation Technology**## ## We are looking for a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer to lead the transition of high-performance Actuator Products from architecture to robust, mass-production hardware on next-generation humanoid robotic platforms. This role sits at the intersection of complex mechanical design and industrialization, shaping how high-torque-density electromechanical systems are matured, integrated, and brought to life  actuators enable our robots to move and accomplish their complex work - this is a critical role on the Atlas team.##

You will be responsible for the technical leadership of specific actuator product lines, ensuring designs meet all performance and reliability targets while fostering the professional growth of a team of design engineers through the rigor of production release.##
** What You’ll Do**:* ## Technical Leadership:
Guide the mechanical design and release for actuator products, overseeing technical execution from initial architecture through to manufacturing.* ## Production Excellence:
Facilitate CAD completion and lead the generation of comprehensive drawing packages, utilizing advanced GD&T and 1D/3D tolerance analysis to ensure high-quality builds.* ## Collaborative Design (DFx):
Partner with suppliers and manufacturing teams to optimize designs for assembly, cost, and long-term reliability.* ## Mentorship & Development:
Support and mentor early-career and mid-level engineers, providing technical guidance, conducting thoughtful design reviews, and fostering an inclusive team environment.* ## Risk Stewardship:
Manage technical risk through FMEAs, validation planning, and detailed due diligence on moving assemblies (gears, bearings, seals, and shafts).##
*
* What You Bring:

*** ## Production Rigor: A track record of bringing complex electromechanical assemblies from architecture through production release in high-rigor environments (e.g., automotive, aerospace, or medical devices).* ## Technical Stewardship:
High proficiency in 3D CAD (CATIA preferred) and PLM, with a commitment to detailed documentation, GD&T, and tolerance stack analysis.* ## Thoughtful Judgment:
Ability to resolve ambiguous design challenges and balance innovation with practical manufacturing constraints.* ## Interpersonal Influence:
Experience leading cross-functional efforts and building alignment across technical teams through collaboration and clear communication.##
*
* Qualifications:

*** ## Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.* ## Professional experience in electromechanical product design and launch (typically 7+ years).## 10%-20% international travel required to support the global supplier and partner network for actuator products.## ## The pay range for this position is between $135,000 - $180,000 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience.
