Senior Mechanical Engineer

We’re creating an entirely new way to solve the most ubiquitous problem in industry - moving and storing material. We’re applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market. We’re focused on the supply chain industry first. The industry is in a massive bind with the continued growth of e-commerce, sharp rise in costs, and supply chain disruptions. What has been a “sleepy” industry for decades is now at the epicenter of sustaining the global economy.

About the role

Come lead the development of cutting-edge distributed cooperative robotics. We’re looking for creative thinkers to help solve for extremely ambitious goals. You’ll get an opportunity to work on electro-mechanical systems in close collaboration with the electrical and software teams. Our team is focused on fast iteration and learning, so you’ll have the opportunity to have your designs built quickly, test them, and take those test results to design improvements.

What you’ll do:

• Create novel electro-mechanical mechanisms and systems for a mobile robotics platform and validate them using rapid prototyping fabrication methods
• Build, debug and support prototype robots
• Develop designs for volume production methods, knowledge of casting, injection molding, stamping, and other volume production processes
• Perform failure modes analysis
• Create work instructions for fabricating robotic systems
• Develop concepts for systems to meet design requirements
• Support robot deployments at customer sites as required
• Redesign robotic systems for volume manufacturing, focusing on reliability and cost optimization

Ideal Candidates

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics with3+ years of industry experience
• Experience designing and debugging electromechanical systems
• Proficiency in designing parts and assemblies using 3D modeling software (Solidworks and Onshape preferred). FEA experience (ANSYS preferred) an asset.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced and challenging environment
• Hands on experience with 3D printing, sheet metal design, casting, injection molding, prototype manufacturing and assembly

Nice to have:

• Experience drafting engineering drawings, conducting tolerance stack-up analysis, GD&T, etc.
• Experience with embedded and edge devices, programming, industrial engineering, electrical system selection and design a plus

Benefits Include:

• Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCs
• Fully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents
• 401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insurance
• Fully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ—we eat and share stories together at the “long” table
• Generous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge together
• Voluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity
• Fully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equity
• Commuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefit
• Lively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phases
• Fully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquarters
