Mechatronics Engineer - Founder - Start Up

Join a venture-backed robotics startup redefining how physical work gets done. Backed by $21M in seed funding, we're building high-performance electromechanical systems that are already being deployed in mission-critical environments. If you've ever built a racecar, robotic arm, or automated production system — and owned it from sketch to ship — this is your stage. The Role As the Founding Mechatronics Engineer, you’ll lead design, development, and delivery of next-gen robotic platforms, end effectors, and teleoperation systems. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with top-tier electrical engineers, own key architectural decisions, and bring novel hardware from prototype to production at scale. What You’ll Own Full-stack hardware – Architect precision mechanical systems that are deeply integrated with electronics and controls, driving high-performance robot behavior. Manufacturing at speed – Lead DFM, supplier engagement, and QA processes to scale from lab builds to production units. Reliability as a product – Design with failure in mind: implement rigorous testing and validation to guarantee uptime in live customer deployments. You Should Have 2–4 years in elite engineering environments (e.g. Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Boston Dynamics, Google X) A Bachelor's or Master’s in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or both) from a top 25 university Experience shipping production hardware and managing manufacturing pipelines Proven ability to work across disciplines — especially mechanical + electrical integration Hands-on experience designing actuators, drivetrains, or other precision systems Exposure to QA systems, validation methods, and field testing best practices Preferred: History of hands-on technical projects — e.g. Formula SAE, RoboSub, Space Club, or other competitive engineering builds What We’re Not Looking For Candidates seeking a rigid 9–5 schedule or prioritizing work-life balance above ownership and impact Why This Role? Founding-level ownership – You’ll be shaping core product systems from Day 1 Elite team – Work alongside ex-founders, racecar builders, and robotics experts Huge vision, real traction – Our robots are already being piloted by some of the world’s largest infrastructure operators Fast lane career – With $21M in the bank and a small team ( Want to own the hardware stack that powers the next generation of robotics? Step up. This is your shot. #J-18808-Ljbffr Hatched Recruitment Group
