Redefining Robotic Intelligence. Backed by Khosla.
About the role
End-to-End Component Ownership: Own the mechanical design of motors, gear trains, and actuator housings from concept through mass production. You're accountable for performance, manufacturability, cost, and reliability of the components you draw. Detailed Design & CAD: Produce high-fidelity 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings with comprehensive GD&T and datum strategies. Design for assembly, design for manufacturing, and design for the inspection methods your suppliers actually have.
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.
As a Design Engineer, you will own the mechanical design of the actuators that move our robots — motors, gear trains, and housings — from concept through prototype through production. Actuators are the dense, highly-loaded subsystems where electromagnetics, structural mechanics, tribology, and thermal management all converge inside a few cubic centimeters. Every gram, every micron of tolerance, and every interface decision compounds across dozens of joints.
In this role, you are the architect of your components. You translate system-level targets into...
