About this role

Mechanical Design Engineer San Francisco, California, United States We're looking for an experienced mechanical engineer to drive the integration and development of our robotic systems, leading innovative designs from concept to deployment. You'll own the full spectrum of mechanical development-from actuator sizing or design to kinematics and work with teams to prototype and ultimately produce systems at scale-ensuring reliability, deployability, and performance. The ideal candidate is a hands-on innovator with deep expertise in mechatronic systems, combining theoretical knowledge with practical engineering skills. Experience with actuation systems, electromechanical integration, machine design, and a track record of bringing mechanical systems to life is essential. If this sounds like you, please apply! In This Role You Will - Own the mechanical design lifecycle: Drive all design decisions around 3D CAD, 2D drawings, material selection, and manufacturability - from early concept and proof-of-concept prototypes through high-volume production. - Develop and refine manufacturing processes: Identify and optimize injection molding, die casting, stamping, machining, adhesives, and bonding methods for new and existing products. - Ensure reliability and robustness: Perform and interpret reliability tests (HALT/HASS, tolerance stack-ups, environmental testing) and lead corrective design actions. - Leverage simulation for smart decisions: Use basic FEA tools (thermal, structural, vibrational) and first-order analyses to validate or guide design from early phases onward. - Lead system integration efforts: Collaborate with electrical and radio teams to balance thermal, EMI, mechanical stability, and accessibility needs in tightly integrated assemblies. - Prototype and iterate quickly: Build proof-of-concept designs, run experiments, and translate findings into
