Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to design, test, and implement key hardware components for our humanoid robot platform.
  • This is a hands-on role that spans the full development arc - from first prototype on the bench to production-ready design at a contract manufacturer.
  • You will own the transition:

Responsibilities

  • Design parts and assemblies in 3D CAD that satisfy load conditions, form factor constraints, range-of-motion requirements, and durability targets
  • Apply analytical methods - FEA, tolerance stack-up, kinematic analysis - before releasing designs for prototyping or production
  • Build prototypes to test assembly, range of motion, wire routing, and integration with adjacent subsystems
  • Design and build test stands and fixtures
  • conduct structured validation testing and document results rigorously
  • Own the prototype-to-production transition for your subsystems: apply DFM/DFA principles from the first design iteration, not as a final step
  • inspect first articles, perform root cause analysis on failures, and drive corrective action through to closure
  • define and own the mechanical acceptance criteria, support tooling bring-up, and stay engaged through production ramp
  • Define and execute structured validation plans - including environmental, fatigue, and functional testing - to prove out designs before they lock for production

Requirements

  • 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience in robotics, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, or consumer electronics - with at least one product shipped to production
  • Expert proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, Onshape, or equivalent) for complex parts and assemblies with tight tolerances
  • Experience with actuators and transmission systems: strain-wave (harmonic), planetary, cycloidal gearing, or direct-drive
  • Proven electromechanical integration experience: motors, sensors, encoders, wire harnesses, and connectors in tight mechanical envelopes
  • drive design changes required to achieve manufacturability, yield, and cost targets

Nice to have

  • Deep familiarity with modern manufacturing processes and when to apply each:
  • Direct experience working with contract manufacturers: DFM reviews, tooling bring-up, first-article inspection, and yield improvement
  • Experience with thermal design and heat dissipation in compact electromechanical systems
  • Background in reliability engineering: fatigue analysis, HALT/HASS, or accelerated life testing
  • Proficiency with simulation tools beyond FEA: CFD, multi-body dynamics (Adams, Simscape), or kinematic simulation
  • Familiarity with functional safety requirements for mechanisms operating near humans
  • CNC machining (3- and 5-axis), injection molding, die casting, sheet metal fabrication, MIM (metal injection molding), investment casting, and surface finishing processes (anodizing, PVD, powder coat)

Company info

  • Our mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI.
