Mechanical Engineering Tech I

Pheratech Systems builds software and systems for multi-robot coordination. As robotic platforms become more specialized, coordination across teams becomes the primary challenge. Our platform enables robots to understand capabilities, decompose objectives, allocate tasks, and coordinate in real time without centralized control. We focus on decentralized, edge-based systems that allow robotic teams to operate reliably in complex environments.

Role Overview As a Mechanical Engineer, you will own the design, prototyping, integration, and testing of robotic systems including UAVs, ground robots, and hybrid platforms. This is a highly hands-on role focused on rapid iteration and real-world deployment. Engineers at Pheratech are expected to take projects from concept through field testing with a high degree of autonomy, working closely with electrical, software, and autonomy engineers to deliver complete robotic systems.

Responsibilities Assume primary ownership of mechanical development efforts, driving projects from concept, design, prototyping, testing, and deployment with minimal supervision.

Design and prototype mechanical systems for robotics platforms (UAVs, ground systems, and hybrid systems) using 3D printing, machining, and off-the-shelf components.

Refine and integrate structures, mechanisms, and enclosures for field testing and deployment.

Work across multiple projects in a fast-paced environment with rapid iteration cycles.

Basic Qualifications Extensive hands-on experience building physical systems such as robots, drones, vehicles, or other electromechanical systems.

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Strong fundamentals in mechanical design, dynamics, materials, and manufacturing.

Experience with CAD design using SolidWorks (required) .

Experience using 3D printing technologies (FDM required; SLS and resin printing preferred).

Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced engineering environment.

Experience designing and building UAV systems and mobile robotic systems.

Preferred Qualifications Experience working with CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and related manufacturing processes.

Experience taking prototypes from initial concepts to manufacturable designs.

Experience with simulation tools (FEA, CFD).
