Job Description:

Atlas is our next-generation humanoid robot, designed to perform useful work in dynamic, real-world environments. A central challenge in achieving this is the development of highly robust grippers that combine strength, dexterity, and high fidelity tactile sensing in compact packages. We’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design and development of Atlas’s grippers. You’ll work on novel mechanisms and assemblies—balancing dexterity, force capability, manufacturability, and durability—while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver hardware that directly impacts Atlas’s ability to interact with the world.

Job Responsibility:

  • Contribute to the design of key gripper subsystems, from early concepts through to production-ready hardware
  • Develop and analyze mechanisms that balance dexterity, payload, and reliability under demanding use cases
  • Apply engineering fundamentals across materials, tribology, thermals, and tolerance stack-ups to achieve robust, repeatable performance
  • Use CAD (3DX/Catia) and analysis tools to model, simulate, and validate designs
  • Collaborate with electrical, controls, and manufacturing engineers to ensure clean integration and testability
  • Support prototyping, bring-up, and issue resolution throughout the product lifecycle

Requirements:

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of relevant experience, or an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • Experience designing and delivering hardware from concept through validation
  • Demonstrated ability to take ownership of mechanical designs in multidisciplinary projects
  • strong fundamentals in mechanics, dynamics, and materials, with a track record of building precision mechanisms
  • fluent in CAD and comfortable managing complex assemblies with tight packaging and motion constraints
  • experience with precision actuation hardware—such as tendon- or gear-driven systems, elastomeric contacts, or compliant joints
  • confident balancing competing requirements of performance, manufacturability, and reliability
