## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field
 * 3-6 years of experience in mechanical design for robotics, automation, manufacturing, or industrial systems
 * Strong CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, OnShape, or equivalent)
 * Experience designing grippers, tooling, fixtures, or electromechanical assemblies
 * Hands-on prototyping experience (3D printing, machining, fabrication & assembly)
 * Experience debugging robotic systems
 * Familiarity with AI/ML concepts as applied to robotics (e.g., machine vision, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or policy training)
 * Ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

 * Experience working with robotic arms or humanoid systems
 * Hands-on experience with robot policy training, fine-tuning, or deployment
 * Experience integrating conveyors, AMRs, actuators, sensors, and other electromechanical devices
 * Experience supporting real-world deployments or field installations - scoping timelines, managing deliverables, and coordinating across teams
 * Experience coordinating external contractors or vendors for fabrication or integration

## Description

* Execute customer projects end-to-end - from scoping and solution design through onsite delivery, serving as the primary technical point of contact
 * Design mechanical solutions including grippers, EOAT, fixtures, and work-cells; rapidly prototype and validate concepts before field deployment
 * Drive AI model post-training and deployment on robot hardware, developing training strategies and partnering with robot pilots and data ops to build robust policies
 * Become a product expert - develop deep knowledge of the full stack and internal workflows to accelerate customer onboarding and inform the roadmap
 * Continuously improve by identifying failure patterns, building reusable design standards, and contributing to shared documentation, * Own the full customer journey - from first scoping call to live robot deployment - with direct visibility into how your solutions perform in the real world
 * Work at the intersection of hardware design and AI, shaping how our robots learn and operate in production customer environments
 * High ownership in a small team where your design decisions and deployment strategies directly influence the roadmap and scale of what we build next
