About the role

Achieving that goal requires carefully engineered, heavily integrated, electro-mechanical actuators that are compact, efficient, and reliable under demanding conditions.
Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience.
Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment.

Lead mechanical design efforts for key subsystems, from early concept through production.
Support prototyping, bring-up, and issue resolution throughout the product lifecycle.
Test and implement mechanical fixes and improvements, owning the process from concept development through validation and formal implementation via Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
Use simulation and analysis tools to guide decisions and validate your designs.
Collaborate closely with electrical and controls engineers to ensure clean integration and testability.
Have experience in failure analysis, root cause investigation, and implementing design changes in a production environment.
Have a proven ability to manage technical trade-offs and drive timely resolution of high-stakes, real-world problems.
Atlas is our next-generation humanoid robot, built to perform useful work in dynamic, real-world environments.
You will be responsible for delivering well-designed and tested components and subsystems that directly impact the robot's motion, manipulation, and overall performance.

A minimum of 4-6 years of related experience or an advanced degree with 2+ years of experience.
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Proven ability to lead designs through the full development cycle from blank sheet or design improvements through validation and implementation.

Experience with Jira, JAMA and Smartsheets
Experience using CATIA 3DX CAD system
Experience using Arena and/or ENOVIA PLM systems
A brief portfolio of images with short descriptions of recent work is required via either web-link or pdf/ppt
This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting.

You will integrate with the team by working closely with proto-ops working on production and design fixes, learning key sub-systems, and building up to a holistic system understanding and white sheet design concepts.

We're looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design and development of our tightly integrated actuator hardware, from electromechanical subsystems to complex assemblies with precision and load-bearing requirements.
