We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer focused on Fan and Duct Design to own the end-to-end development of the robot’s airflow systems from early impeller geometry prototypes to production-ready assemblies released to manufacturing.
Job Responsibility:
Own the mechanical design of the robot’s fan assemblies: impellers, housings, ducts, diffusers, seals, shrouds, baffles, and mounting structures
Translate CFD-engineered impeller geometry into fully detailed, moldable components with proper drafts, ribs, gates, cooling channels, and tooling strategies
Develop manufacturable plastic parts (injection-molded), metal components, and hybrid structures for quiet, efficient airflow
Select, qualify, and integrate fan motors including BLDC, slotless motors, PMSMs, or custom motor architectures depending on system targets
Collaborate with motor vendors and CMs to determine winding specs, bearings, back-EMF constants, and long-life design constraints with additional support from the Figure motor team
Support thermal and acoustic engineers by designing test fixtures, running airflow tests, and validating fan performance
Own iterative cycles: prototype → measure → redesign → retest
Drive supplier engagement on tooling, gating, draft strategies, warpage control, and tolerance analyses
Partner with GSM and CMs to close out DFM, tooling release, mold trials, and FAIs
Create drawing packages, GD&T, BOMs, and assembly instructions for production
Collaborate with CFD, thermal, acoustics, system architecture, IDand manufacturing teams to converge on a highly optimized fan system
Work with global suppliers to evaluate materials, molding processes, motor options, and assembly methods
Provide hands-on build support for engineering units and early factory runs
Requirements:
5+ years experience in mechanical engineering, electromechanical design, turbomachinery components, or similar
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace, or related field
Expert in 3D CAD modeling and surfacing
comfort with complex geometries derived from CFD
Deep understanding of mechanical design for airflow systems: fans, ducts, impellers, shrouds, or related components
Experience turning CFD geometry into manufacturable CAD suitable for tooling
Familiar with experimental methods for measuring flow, pressure, and acoustic performance
Strong DFM knowledge for injection molding, tooling, and assembly
Ability to write clear documentation, test plans, and release packages
Nice to have:
Experience with small BLDC fan motors, custom motor sourcing, or electromechanical integration
Background in acoustics, noise reduction, vibration isolation, or fan blade noise characterization
Experience with high-volume plastic injection molding and tool releases
