Founding Mechatronics Engineer

About Us

• Our mission is to build the world's first labor agency that deploys dexterous robots as its primary workforce.
• We start by tackling one of the most dull tasks in warehousing and logistics: packaging e-commerce orders.
• You'll be joining a team of extremely hardcore and self-motivated engineers, scientists, and operators who focus on winning 24/7.
• As a founding member of the technical staff, you will develop and own entire systems from design to deployment, playing a foundational role in deploying 5000+ robots by 2031.

What you'll do

• Design parts and assemblies in CAD
• Apply analytical methods for the design and optimization of structures for mass, stiffness, cost, and manufacturing (hand calcs, tolerance analysis, FEA simulations, etc.)
• Fabricate prototypes and iterate rapidly from concept to volume production
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to define product requirements and develop implementations
• Integrate actuators, sensors, and electronics including wiring into a space-efficient package conducive for assembly and serviceability
• Manage suppliers to execute projects according to the design specifications and tight timelines
• Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its determined lifetime
• Design fixtures and equipment for testing and calibration in prototype and production environments

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics or equivalent experience
• Proficiency in designing parts and assemblies using 3D modeling software (Onshape preferred)
• Experience drafting engineering drawings and conducting tolerance stack-up analysis
• Hands-on prototyping experience
• Experience with designing for both low volume manufacturing and high-volume manufacturing
• Experience taking designs from initial concept through to mass production
• Basic understanding of electrical and thermal design fundamentals. Familiarity with PCBAs and electronics packaging
• Familiarity with the interdependencies between electronics, mechanics and embedded software
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in unstructured and high-pressure environments
• Understanding of how to balance development speed versus product quality

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with DFMEA
• Familiarity with GD&T
• Experience designing custom PCBs
• Familiarity with analog and power electronics, power system design (inverters, transformers, DC/DC converters, batteries)

Benefits
