What you’ll be doing:

• Build custom electromechanical systems from a robot arm and grippers to automatic tool changers, to a docking station

• Build cleaning-specific mechanical systems like cleaning end-effector tools and fluid systems

• Drive our HIL testing efforts to prove effectiveness and durability of our mechanical systems

• Contribute to the industrialization efforts required to manufacture hundreds of robots

What you should have:

• 3+ years in a professional Mechanical Engineering environment, preferably Robotics, Automotive, or Aerospace

• Strong CAD modeling experience (e.g. Onshape)

• Experience with metals and plastics manufacturing processes

• Experience in robotics actuation systems (e.g. BLDC motors, gearboxes, encoders, torque sensors)

• Experience in fluid systems (e.g. water pumps, valves, nozzles)

• Experience writing basic software for test benches independently (Python, C++)

These skills are a plus:

• Experience building custom PCBs

• You have built articulated robots before (e.g. a robot arm or robot leg, quadruped, humanoid)

• You have contributed building a hardware product shipped in the hundreds of units to customers

Don't worry if you don't hit every check-mark. We value people who learn fast and care about building great products. Just give it a go and apply.
