About the role
- You will spend time in CAD, but also at the printer, in the shop, and on the robot, working closely with electrical, software, and robotics teams to bring systems together.
- This role is based on-site in San Francisco, CA.
- Make decisions on materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods
Responsibilities
- As a Mechanical Design Engineer at Droyd, you will own mechanical subsystems from first sketch through working prototype. You will design, build, break, and iterate on real hardware.
- Own mechanical subsystem design from concept to prototype and iteration
- Design parts and assemblies in CAD, supported by hand calculations and FEA when needed
- Design for rapid prototyping methods including 3D printing and CNC machining
- Collaborate with electrical, software, and robotics teams to bring systems together
- We design and manufacture our hardware in-house, which means iteration, fabrication, and execution all happen under one roof.
- Our robots operate in production settings, which means mechanical design has to be robust, manufacturable, and tightly integrated with electronics and control systems.
- As a Mechanical Design Engineer at Droyd, you will own mechanical subsystems from first sketch through working prototype.
- You will design, build, break, and iterate on real hardware.
Nice to have
- Experience with FEA, topology optimization, or generative design
- Exposure to electronics, controls, or mechatronic systems
- If we do this right, robots stop being demos and start being infrastructure.
Compensation
- $115K-$200K base salary, plus equity

Company info
- Droyd builds autonomous robotic systems that automate repetitive manual work in real environments.
- Our mechanical team designs the structures, linkages, and assemblies that make the robots real - this work moves fast and lives on the shop floor as much as it does in CAD.
