Job Description
Job Description
Our Mission
Expand human ambition in the physical world.
Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers.
The RoleAs one of the foundational members of our Engineering team, you will design components and assemblies for our fast-growing fleet of production robots. We like to ship fast. From Day 1, you’ll play an instrumental role in bringing our products to life, owning critical pieces of our hardware design from concept to production.
Working directly with our founding team, this role is based onsite at our San Francisco headquarters.
What You’ll DoDesign custom mechanical components for our advanced robotics and teleoperations systems, including end-effectors, grippers, manipulators, mounts, etc
Develop and implement solutions for rapid prototyping of new hardware designs to ensure performance, reliability and manufacturability
Integrate mechanical components within larger hardware systems, ensuring they meet performance and project goals
Provide technical leadership and advise leadership on technology strategy and decision-making
Collaborate with Hardware Engineers and Ops team to support overall product development, enabling our autonomous robotics solutions
4+ years of mechanical design experience
In-depth, hands-on experience, owning end-to-end mechanical design of components and assemblies for robotics systems, medical devices, rockets, drones, automotive systems or like
Proficiency designing parts and systems using 3D modeling software such as Creo, Solidworks or NX. Onshape a big plus!
Familiarity with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Strong sense of ownership, initiative, problem solving and analysis
Effective communicator and collaborator with the ability to work closely with Hardware Engineers and Ops team in a fast-paced environment
We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive team. At Watney Robotics, we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities, and we make hiring decisions based on skills, experience, and potential.
