## About the role

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will own mechanical subsystems of our robots end to end, from concept through production, including actuator selection and structure to drivetrain, linkages, and field-ready assembly. You make architecture and design tradeoffs, design it, machine it, assemble it, and fix it on robots running in live operations. This is not a bench role. Your designs face real constraints: variable floors, tight corridors, elevator transitions, and duty cycles that push hardware hard. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of relevant industry experience designing and shipping hardware
- Strong mechanical fundamentals: material selection, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFM
- Track record owning actuated or mobile mechanisms from concept through production
- CAD fluency in SolidWorks, Fusion, or Onshape
- Hands-on fabrication: you've run a mill and lathe, bent sheet metal, and welded
- Experience making architecture and design tradeoffs, mentoring junior engineers, and working with manufacturers
