Job Description
Role Overview

We're hiring a Robotics Mechatronics Engineer to help develop our robot fleet. You'll design, fabricate, and assemble warehouse robots, then integrate them with our software stack and tune the manipulation control that makes them work.

What You Will Do

Design and fabricate custom parts, assemble and integrate purchased arms, bases, grippers, and sensors into complete robots, develop and tune manipulation control, and test robots before they ship.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We're looking for people who have shipped real robot hardware before, with experience in CAD, electromechanical skills, controls fundamentals, and experience integrating arms and sensors with a software stack.

Requirements

  • 4+ years building physical robots
  • Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Onshape, Fusion, or equivalent)
  • Hands-on electromechanical skills (harnesses, soldering, motors, sensors, and scopes)
  • Solid controls fundamentals (kinematics, PID and trajectory control, and calibration on real hardware)
  • Experience integrating arms and sensors with a software stack through ROS/ROS 2 and vendor SDKs
  • Firmware and low-level interface experience (CAN, EtherCAT, serial)
  • Practical Python and comfort working in Linux; able to read and modify C++
