About the role

- Design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for data collection hardware and robotic devices
- Rapidly build, test, and break prototypes. You'll use 3D printing, CNC machining, and manual fabrication to validate designs

Design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for data collection hardware and robotic devices
Rapidly build, test, and break prototypes. You'll use 3D printing, CNC machining, and manual fabrication to validate designs
Contribute to DFM/DFA efforts to ensure designs can scale from low-volume prototypes to high-volume production
Perform basic analyses (tolerance, structural, thermal) to validate design decisions
Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime
Assist in documentation for design reviews and testing
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, software, industrial design) to consolidate design requirements and integrate mechanical systems

5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors
High proficiency in SolidWorks, Catia or similar tools
Hands-on problem-solving approach with ability to iterate quickly
Exceptional Mechanical Intuition. You understand how forces, materials, and mechanisms behave instinctively.
Familiarity with rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D Printing, Machining, etc.
Experience designing for volume processes (Injection molding, CNC, etc.) and working with contract manufacturers.
You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part.
