$13,886 more — $161,886 — moves this role to Level III and 3 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.

Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $161,886 would place this position at wage Level III. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Electrical Engineers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

DOL prevailing wage, 2026-27 wage year · Electrical Engineers (17-2071) · San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA. Wage level is derived by USCIS from the offered wage, occupation and worksite; the occupation shown is inferred from the job title.

About the role

  • The Joints & Body team is responsible for the mechanical systems that give NEO its structure, mobility, strength, and physical robustness.
  • Your work will directly impact NEO's mobility, strength, reliability, safety, weight, manufacturability, and overall physical capability.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to use first-principles calculations, tolerance analysis, FEA, and physical testing to make engineering decisions

Responsibilities

  • We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back.
  • NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people.
  • We're scaling, we're hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.
  • We design and develop the robot's body architecture, joints, structural components, and integrated electromechanical systems that enable NEO to move safely and reliably in the real world.
  • This team works at the intersection of mechanical design, actuation, structures, materials, sensing, electronics, controls, manufacturing, and reliability.
  • Build the mechanical systems that make humanoid robots move.
  • You will own critical parts of NEO's body and joint architecture, taking mechanical systems from concept through design, prototyping, validation, and production.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field
  • Strong experience designing mechanisms, structural components, precision assemblies, or robotic systems
  • Advanced proficiency with 3D CAD and experience owning complex mechanical assemblies from concept through released drawings
  • Strong understanding of mechanical design fundamentals including statics, dynamics, materials, fatigue, friction, fasteners, bearings, and tolerance analysis
  • Experience with GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, drawing release, and production documentation
  • Experience designing components for machining, casting, molding, sheet metal, additive manufacturing, or other production processes
  • Experience integrating mechanical systems with motors, sensors, electronics, wiring, and other electromechanical components
  • Experience collaborating with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, electrical, controls, and systems engineering organizations
  • Experience with electric motors, gearboxes, belt or cable transmissions, bearings, encoders, torque sensing, brakes, or other motion-control hardware

Skills

  • Experience designing robotic actuators, joints, transmissions, or humanoid robotic systems
  • Experience designing lightweight structures with aggressive strength, stiffness, packaging, and mass constraints
  • Experience with FEA, fatigue analysis, structural optimization, thermal analysis, or other engineering simulation methods
  • Experience designing mechanisms with high range of motion and complex packaging constraints
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills across mechanical, electrical, controls, manufacturing, reliability, and supply chain teams

Compensation

  • $148,000 - $181,000 + Equity

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
  • Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
  • Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support

Company info

  • Design and release production-ready body, joint, and structural systems that meet performance, reliability, weight, cost, and manufacturability requirements
  • Develop compact electromechanical joint architectures that integrate actuation, bearings, transmissions, sensing, electronics, cabling, and structural interfaces
  • Improve robot mass, stiffness, strength, range of motion, packaging efficiency, durability, and serviceability through iterative mechanical design
  • Build and test prototypes rapidly, using physical testing and robot data to identify failure modes and drive design improvements
  • Develop engineering requirements, tolerance analyses, test methods, and validation plans that demonstrate hardware performance and reliability
  • Support hardware through prototype builds, design validation, NPI, and production ramp while resolving issues quickly and maintaining design intent
  • Partner closely with controls, electrical, manufacturing, reliability, and supply chain teams to develop fully integrated robotic systems
  • Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals across machine design, structures, mechanisms, materials, and electromechanical systems
  • Deep understanding of mechanical joint design, including bearings, transmissions, actuators, shafts, fasteners, interfaces, and structural load paths
  • Strong ability to design highly integrated mechanical systems under tight mass, volume, stiffness, strength, and range-of-motion constraints
  • Hands-on engineering mindset with the ability to move quickly between CAD, analysis, prototype builds, test rigs, and complete robots
  • Strong understanding of DFM/DFA and the ability to develop designs that transition effectively from prototype to scaled production
