Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
Execute customer projects end-to-end — from scoping and solution design through onsite delivery, serving as the primary technical point of contact Design mechanical solutions including grippers, EOAT, fixtures, and work-cells; rapidly prototype and validate concepts before field deployment
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field
- 3–6 years of experience in mechanical design for robotics, automation, manufacturing, or industrial systems
- Strong CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, OnShape, or equivalent)
- Experience designing grippers, tooling, fixtures, or electromechanical assemblies
- Hands-on prototyping experience (3D printing, machining, fabrication & assembly)
- Experience debugging robotic systems
More about this role
At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
We're looking for a mid-to-senior Robotics Application Engineer to translate real-world customer use cases into robust intelligent robot deployments. You will design, prototype, and refine grippers, end-of-arm tooling, work stations, and integration hardware — and develop efficient strategies for robot learning and data collection — working at the intersection of robotics, AI, hardware, and deployment operations.
