About the role
Overview:
Our client is looking for an exceptional Mechanical Product Designer who loves tackling tough problems, sweating the details, and seeing their designs come to life in the real world. This is an inaugural role, so you’ll shape both the mechanical architecture of our humanoid robots and the engineering culture of the company.
If you’ve shipped real products in robotics, autonomy, consumer, medical devices, automotive, or aerospace and you want to help bring world-class robots into production- we’d love to connect.

- Build mechanical interfaces that integrate with electrical + software subsystems
- Run engineering analyses (FEA, stress, vibration, thermal) to validate designs
- Collaborate with controls/firmware to ensure smooth system performance
- Rapidly prototype and iterate in the lab to balance performance and constraints
- Stay sharp on emerging mechanical technologies and techniques in robotics
- 5+ years in mechanical product design (robotics, precision instruments, automotive, or similar)
- Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, materials, and machine design
- Strong DFMA experience with precision manufacturing processes
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- Expert CAD skills (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, etc.)
- Proficiency with simulation tools (FEA, CFD, motion analysis)
- Strong mechanical drawing and GD&T fundamentals
