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

Benefits

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.
