About the role
- This is intentionally a hands-on ownership role.
- You'll touch every stage of your hardware, which means real ownership and room to grow quickly.
Responsibilities
- Own a subassembly and its parts through design, hand calcs, FEA, fabrication, assembly, and validation
- Own the supporting analysis: hand calcs, tolerance stack-ups, fastener and material selection, and basic FEA
- Build, assemble, and test your own parts on test fixtures and on the robot
- 1-4 years of mechanical design experience (exceptional new grads with strong project or internship work are welcome to apply)
- Experience building things: student teams, products that shipped, prototypes that worked
- Hands-on machining experience: we have some really cool machines, and as a small team, engineers do need to make their own parts at times
- CAM experience (Fusion 360) or comfort programming your own toolpaths
- Comfort using AI tools to multiply your own output
- you'll design a part, do the analysis to back it up, make it, test it on the robot, and turn a failed test into a revised part the same week.
Nice to have
- Experience at a hardware, robotics, aerospace, or automotive company
