About the role

We are seeking Manufacturing Engineers to lead the development of processes, tooling, and prototype builds for custom motors and actuators. You will own a primary area as a Stator Process / Manufacturing Engineer, Tooling / Fixture Engineer, or Prototype Manufacturing Engineer, taking that work from early development through validation and repeatable execution in close partnership with mechanical, electromagnetic, electrical, test, quality, and supplier teams.

What they're looking for

  • Stator Process / Manufacturing: stacking, winding, termination, potting or cure processes, and winding or handling tooling
  • Tooling / Fixture: fixture design, CAD and manufacturing drawings, metrology, equipment commissioning, and repeatability studies
  • Prototype Manufacturing: electromechanical assembly, build planning, parts readiness, inspection, rework, testing, and delivery of complete hardware builds
  • Motor, stator, actuator, or comparable electromechanical manufacturing experience
  • Automated assembly, inline inspection, end-of-line testing, or equipment fault recovery, familiarity with sensors, PLCs, I/O, or pneumatics
  • Process capability, measurement-system studies, and structured experiments
More about this role

Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and pushing towards AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world settings. Working across the entire model stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the constraints of physical systems to improve peoples’ lives.
