Atlas is our next-generation humanoid robot, built to perform useful work in dynamic, real-world environments. Achieving that goal requires carefully engineered, heavily integrated, electro-mechanical actuators that are compact, efficient, and reliable under demanding conditions. We're looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design and development of our tightly integrated actuator hardware, from electromechanical subsystems to complex assemblies with precision and load-bearing requirements. You will be responsible for delivering well-designed and tested components and subsystems that directly impact the robot's motion, manipulation, and overall performance. You will integrate with the team by working closely with proto-ops working on production and design fixes, learning key sub-systems, and building up to a holistic system understanding and white sheet design concepts.
Job Responsibility
Lead mechanical design efforts for key subsystems, from early concept through production
Support prototyping, bring-up, and issue resolution throughout the product lifecycle
Interface directly with the Proto-Ops and repair team to diagnose and resolve mechanical bugs found on the production line and on fielded robots
Test and implement mechanical fixes and improvements, owning the process from concept development through validation and formal implementation via Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
Apply your knowledge to balance performance, manufacturability, and reliability across a range of mechanical requirements—torque, stiffness, mass, thermal behavior, and tolerance stack-ups
Use simulation and analysis tools to guide decisions and validate your designs
Collaborate closely with electrical and controls engineers to ensure clean integration and testability
Requirements
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
A minimum of 4-6 years of related experience or an advanced degree with 2+ years of experience
Proven ability to lead designs through the full development cycle from blank sheet or design improvements through validation and implementation
