About the role

Manager of Hardware Engineering and support the development of custom end effector, tool, and HW system designs for robotic manipulation and autonomous vehicle systems.
Successful candidates will have a demonstrated history of contributing technically to the design and implementation of complex components of robotic systems from scratch.
The opportunity offers a technical, hands-on team member the chance to help develop a market-defining enterprise product that combines autonomous vehicle technology with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model.
Lead reliability initiatives by analyzing failure modes, implementing design and process improvements, and driving corrective actions to improve product performance, durability, and lifecycle cost.
Own test strategies for mechanical and electro-mechanical subsystems: define test plans, acceptance criteria, and pass/fail requirements aligned to product specifications and customer use cases.
Design, build, and maintain reliability test fixtures and automated test rigs that simulate real-world operating conditions for accelerated life testing (ALT), fatigue, thermal cycling, and environmental stress screening
Design and maintain parts and complex CAD assemblies for robotic end effectors, tooling, and autonomous vehicle hardware, with reliability and manufacturability as primary design inputs.
Collaborate with software team members to incorporate desired sensing mechanisms and account for HW/SW integrated system design considerations

5+ years of experience with integrated software/hardware systems such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other automotive/aerospace products with a significant portion focused on test engineering or reliability
Experience with accelerated life testing (ALT) methodologies
Experience with the product development lifecycle - particularly design for manufacture, reliability, and cost
Working knowledge of Python and/or C++ for test automation or hardware-in-the-loop validation
Experience with industrial automation equipment
Experience with linkage synthesis and linkage design
Experience with PDM and part release processes

Brainstorm and prototype electro-mechanical, and pneumatic tools for automation systems and robotic manipulators
