Engineering-Mechanical

Our advanced vision algorithms and cutting-edge sensor hardware power the next generation of autonomous systems - from robots to smart infrastructure - building a safer and more efficient world.
The Industrial Autonomy Team is seeking a mechanical engineer to design and validate the rugged enclosures, mounts, thermal solutions, and structural hardware powering products for autonomy and physical AI customers. Working closely with a small hardware team, you will help shape our physical architecture while taking complex electromechanical systems from early prototype through high-volume manufacturing.
Design and develop mechanical systems for sensor-based autonomy products, including enclosures, mounts, thermal solutions, vehicle control hardware, and harnessing
Own mechanical design from concept through prototype, validation, and production release
Partner with other hardware engineers to support sensor integration, connector placement, thermal performance, and system architecture
Develop CAD models, engineering drawings, tolerance analyses, and documentation for manufacturing
Contribute to pilot deployments and field hardware integration, incorporating learnings into future designs
5-10 years of experience designing and shipping hardware products

• Experience designing electromechanical products to industrial-grade standards at mass manufacturing scale (10,000+/yr)
• Knowledge of materials, tolerance stack-ups, thermal design, and manufacturing processes
• Experience ramping at least one hardware system from prototype to mass production + supporting stability in the field
• Demonstrated ability to concurrently champion multiple projects at varying lifecycle stages, with minimal project management oversight

Experience with autonomy, robotics, industrial equipment, automotive, or sensor hardware
Experience with high-volume production, including direct collaboration with overseas contract manufacturers
