About this role

Mechanical Design Engineer Palo Alto, California, United States Responsibilities - Design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for data collection hardware and robotic devices - Rapidly build, test, and break prototypes. You'll use 3D printing, CNC machining, and manual fabrication to validate designs - Contribute to DFM/DFA efforts to ensure designs can scale from low-volume prototypes to high-volume production - Source components and work closely with machine shops and CMs to ensure parts are manufactured and shipped to spec and on time. - Perform basic analyses (tolerance, structural, thermal) to validate design decisions - Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime - Assist in documentation for design reviews and testing - Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, software, industrial design) to consolidate design requirements and integrate mechanical systems Qualifications - Exceptional Mechanical Intuition. You understand how forces, materials, and mechanisms behave instinctively. - 5+ years of experience (or equivalent "hard tech" projects) building complex electromechanical systems and sensors - Familiarity with rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D Printing, Machining, etc. - High proficiency in SolidWorks, Catia or similar tools - Hands-on problem-solving approach with ability to iterate quickly - Experience designing for volume processes (Injection molding, CNC, etc.) and working with contract manufacturers. - You are comfortable with ambiguity, move fast, and have an "engineering curiosity" that drives you to understand how the entire system works, not just your part.
