## About the role

Our Platform Evaluation team tests and benchmarks alternative robotics platforms, including mobile manipulators, AMRs/AGVs, and other form factors, against our current production baseline. The team builds custom mobile manipulators by combining off-the-shelf components from different AMR and robot arm manufacturers, for example mounting one or more arms from a given vendor onto an AMR base from another. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Mechanical or mechatronic design experience in a production, commercial, or applied R&D setting, ideally involving robotics or automated equipment
- Strong proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, or similar)
- Experience designing mechanical mounts, brackets, or structural interfaces for hardware integration
- Understanding of payload, mass properties, and center-of-gravity considerations for robotic arms on mobile bases
- Familiarity with robot arm and AMR specifications, including mounting interfaces, payload limits, and reach envelopes
- Comfortable iterating quickly, producing and revising multiple design options rather than one final design upfront
