About the role
The Principal Mechatronics Engineer will report to the Senior Manager of Hardware Engineering and will own the full lifecycle—design, prototyping, DFX, and production—of our next-generation robotic arm and end effectors for advanced manipulation. This role owns mechanical architecture from concept through field deployment, setting engineering standards and driving design decisions that shape the reliability and scalability of the product.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of experience with integrated hardware/software systems such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other industrial automation products
- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline
- Demonstrated experience owning mechanical system architecture end-to-end, including requirements, design, analysis, and validation
- Deep expertise in designing and documenting machined parts, weldments, sheet metal, and assemblies with full GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis
- Experience applying DFM principles to machined parts, sheet metal, weldments, and molded or cast components, with demonstrated ability to reduce part complexity and manufacturing cost without compromising performance
- Experience leading reliability programs — FMEA, root cause analysis, corrective action — on fielded hardware systems
