About the role

  • We combine advanced simulation, experimental testing, and cross-functional engineering to improve durability, structural integrity, vibration performance, and control stability across the robot platform.
  • Working at the intersection of mechanical engineering, controls, systems engineering, and hardware validation, the team plays a critical role in delivering robots that withstand demanding operating conditions while providing a refined user experience.
  • Define statistically representative load cases that accurately model real-world robotic operating conditions

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.
  • Own the structural dynamics and validation strategy for robotic subsystems by translating operational requirements into validated engineering models and test methodologies.
  • Develop and maintain validated structural dynamics, shock, and vibration models that correlate with experimental test data
  • Partner with mechanical, controls, systems, and reliability engineers to continuously improve robot performance throughout development

Requirements

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
  • Extensive experience in structural dynamics, vibration analysis, durability engineering, or mechanical validation
  • Strong understanding of modal analysis, frequency response, shock, vibration, fatigue, and structural validation techniques
  • Experience designing and executing instrumentation plans, test setups, and data acquisition campaigns
  • Experience working with finite element analysis (FEA) and structural simulation tools
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional engineering decisions

Skills

  • Experience working on robotic, automotive, aerospace, or other highly dynamic electromechanical systems
  • Familiarity with acoustic noise reduction and advanced NVH optimization techniques
  • Experience supporting controls teams through structural dynamics characterization and stability troubleshooting

Compensation

  • $207,000 - $253,000 + 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

  • Improve robot durability, NVH performance, and control stability through structural analysis and engineering recommendations
  • Lead structural validation efforts including instrumentation, data acquisition, testing, model correlation, and reporting
  • Identify, investigate, and resolve structural dynamics issues affecting vibration, acoustic noise, fatigue life, or system stability
  • Deep understanding of structural dynamics, vibration analysis, modal behavior, and dynamic system response
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate physical testing into validated engineering models
  • Expertise in experimental testing, instrumentation, data acquisition, and model correlation
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration with hardware, controls, systems, and manufacturing teams
  • Ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive complex technical problems from investigation through resolution
  • We've been at this since 2014 and we're at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
