Boxbot revolutionizes logistics with adaptive automation, creating the facility of the future. As the industry grapples with labor shortages and rising costs, our advanced solutions effectively meet these challenges. We transform traditional conveyor systems into intelligent, three-dimensional package handling networks, dramatically improving dispatch efficiency and operational productivity. Our versatile platform seamlessly integrates cutting-edge software and hardware, offering a comprehensive solution that optimizes multiple facets of the supply chain.

We are seeking teammates who take pride in their work and who get excited about building new systems with significant responsibility.
We're seeking a talented Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to help drive the next generation of Boxbot machinery. You'll help the design and select components for our automated material handling solutions. If you have experience shipping real world machinery, we want to talk to you!
Help lead the design of complex mechanical systems for Boxbot's automated storage and retrieval products, from architecture through field deployment
Design robust structures, mechanisms and assemblies that perform reliably in real-world industrial environments
Spend lot's of time of the shop floor building and troubleshooting prototypes and test systems
Work directly with technicians, fabricators, machine shops, suppliers, and contract manufacturers
Produce clear CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation for high-volume manufacturing
Partner with electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, and systems teams to solve system-level engineering problems
Drive design improvements that reduce complexity, improve uptime, simplify assembly, and lower product cost
Lead root-cause investigations and resolve mechanical issues found during prototyping, production, deployment, and field operation
8+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience, preferably in industrial automation, robotics, or material handling systems

• Expert-level proficiency in 3D CAD tools; experience owning or scaling PDM/PLM systems is highly valued
