Job Description:

Lead the design, prototyping, and integration of soft goods for robotic systems. Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers to develop soft components that interface directly with hardware—such as covers, protective elements, wear surfaces, cable management solutions, and interaction-facing materials. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who understands both materials and machines. You will source and evaluate fabrics, elastomers, foams, and composites; prototype and test soft goods under real operational conditions; and iterate designs to meet functional, durability, and usability requirements. Your work will shape how robotic systems perform, endure, and interact with the world.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design soft goods that integrate seamlessly with robotic hardware, sensors, actuators
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineers to define requirements and interfaces
  • Source, evaluate, and test materials for durability, flexibility, environmental resistance, manufacturability
  • Prototype soft components using a range of fabrication methods (cut-and-sew, lamination, molding, bonding, etc.)
  • Build and iterate on prototypes to support testing in varied operating conditions
  • Document designs, material choices, and test results to support iteration and handoff
  • Provide technical feedback to engineering teams based on real-world performance and failure modes

Requirements:

  • Experience designing and prototyping technical soft goods for hardware products or systems
  • Comfortable working closely with hardware and robotics engineers to solve interface and integration challenges
  • Understand material properties and tradeoffs across textiles, elastomers, foams, and flexible composites
  • Enjoy hands-on prototyping and are energized by fast iteration cycles
  • Can translate functional requirements into physical designs that perform under real-world constraints
  • Are organized, detail-oriented, and thoughtful about documentation and repeatability
  • Are curious, experimental, and excited to help define best practices in a still-emerging design space

Nice to have:

  • Experience designing soft goods for robotics, wearables, medical devices, or outdoor/industrial products
  • Familiarity with environmental testing, abrasion testing, or durability validation
  • Experience working with contract manufacturers or specialty fabricators
  • Comfort iterating between early exploratory prototypes and more production-oriented designs
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts
  • Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit)
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match
  • Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks)
  • Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees
  • 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time (1 hour per 30 hours worked, or more, as required by applicable state or local law)
  • Mental health and wellness support
  • Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage
  • Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth
  • Daily meals in our offices, and meal delivery credits as eligible
  • Relocation support for eligible employees
  • Additional taxable fringe benefits, such as charitable donation matching and wellness stipends
