We are a robotics startup aiming to improve people’s lives through our technology. We are seeking a motivated Mechanical/Robotics Engineer to join a small, multidisciplinary team and lead development of robotic hardware design and implementation for real-world robotic applications.

Key responsibilities:
Design robotic actuation systems end-to-end — joint architecture, transmissions (harmonic, cycloidal, planetary, belt, cable-driven), bearings, and compliant elements — balancing torque density, stiffness, backlash, and mass.
Synthesize and optimize linkages for articulated motion, using kinematic and energetic analysis to define workspace, transmission ratios, and force/torque envelopes.
Own mechanical subsystems from concept to production: hand calcs, simulation (FEA, multibody dynamics), prototyping, tolerance stack-ups, and validation testing.
Build and test hardware quick — machine, assemble, and instrument prototypes; characterize stiffness, hysteresis, thermal behavior, and wear, and iterate on the results.
Select and size actuators, gearing, encoders, and sensors against duty cycles, inertia, thermal limits, and control requirements.
Produce and maintain CAD, GD&T; drawings, assembly documentation, and BOMs that are manufacturable, serviceable,



and repeatable at volume.
Partner with electrical, controls, and software engineers so mechanical design and real-time control (ROS/ROS2) converge on a system that performs as intended.
Work with machine shops and manufacturing partners on process selection, DFM/DFA, and the move from low volume builds to scaled production.
Contribute to design reviews, documentation, and engineering standards in a rapid-moving startup.

Minimum qualifications:
BS or Graduate Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics or Robotics Engineering.
2+ year of industry experience working on related topics. (High academic performance may be considered in lieu of experience)
Proficient in the use of CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD)
Experience in mechanical design for production fabrication. (CNC, injection moulding, 3D printing, etc.)

Additional qualifications
Coursework, research, or degree in biomechanics, biomechanical engineering, or kinesiology — or hands-on experience in prosthetics, orthotics, exoskeletons, or gait analysis.
Knowledge of safety standards or regulatory processes relevant to robotics/medical devices.
