Job Description

Do you want to own real hardware, not just contribute to it? Curious about building next-gen actuators, grippers, and human-robot interfaces from the ground up? One of our long-standing robotics partners is scaling their AI-driven industrial automation platform - and they’re now building the next generation of their robotic system. They’re looking for a Senior Robotics Hardware Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of key subsystems and translate high-level product concepts into robust, manufacturable hardware. This goes beyond prototyping - you’ll architect, build, and steer core hardware components of the next robot platform, working closely with software, autonomy, and external engineering partners.

Job Responsibility

  • Full ownership of the design, concept, development, and validation of critical hardware components (grippers, actuators & teaching interfaces)
  • Design and prototype next-gen actuator concepts (QDD, backdrivable systems, etc.)
  • Take designs from early concept through to manufacturable hardware
  • Define subsystem architecture and integrate with control, perception, and autonomy systems
  • Working closely with external design and DFM partners
  • Getting hands-on with prototypes - build, test, iterate
  • Make technical decisions that directly shape the product

Requirements

  • Strong background in robotics hardware, mechatronics, or mechanical engineering
  • Experience owning hardware systems from concept through validation (production exposure ideal)
  • Solid CAD skills (SolidWorks or similar), including DFM and tolerancing
  • Actuator experience is a strong plus (BLDC, gear systems, torque sensing, etc.)
  • Strong system-level thinking across mechanics, electronics, and control
  • Comfort working cross-functionally across controls, software, and product

  • bonus
  • shares
