You'll leverage your experience in mechanical and electrical design to increase reliability and longevity of our equipment by analyzing vibration and shock data, designing mounts with sound dynamic and vibrations engineering principles, and design setups for life cycle testing.

You'll create robust and replicable processes to streamline manufacturing of our AI guidance systems, and perform installations on equipment across the United States and Australia. You'll develop best practices for managing a fleet of hardware systems and will work closely with our software engineers and field team to debug, troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware issues in the field.

  • 2+ years of experience using a CAD software design package (e.g. Solidworks, Onshape, Fusion 360)
  • 2+ years of experience in electrical design
  • Familiarity with Python, Linux and ROS is a plus
  • Adaptability and flexibility to work in new situations, pick up new skills, and do what it takes to get the job done
  • Willingness to travel to job sites 1-2 times per month, according to the needs of the business
COMPANY PERKS
  • Competitive salary and equity
  • 100% employer-sponsored health, dental and vision insurance - for you, your spouse and children
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Paid holidays and flexible PTO
  • TSA PreCheck
  • Gym membership
  • Free catered lunch and plenty of snacks
  • Opportunity to work on an 80,000-pound autonomous robot
  • A pair of steel-toe boots
