Hands-On Mechanical Engineer - Robot Hardware & Prototyping

Jobleads-US

Sarah Smith Fund is seeking an accomplished mechanical engineer to design and build the hardware for teleoperated humanoid robots. You will own major subsystems, set architecture, and drive from napkin sketch to a working robot in days, collaborating with controls and software teams.

You'll prototype with in-house machining and 3D printing, while partnering with vendors for manufacturing. Mentoring junior engineers and shaping the hardware culture are also key parts of the role.
