The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
We're building Bolt, a mobile manipulation platform: an autonomous mobile base carrying our robot arms. We're hiring two Mechanical Engineers to join the Bolt team early in their careers and grow with the product. One will work on the upper body — the structures, mounts, and covers that carry the arms, sensors, and payload on the base. One will support the electrical team and proof-of-concept builds — brackets, enclosures, harness routing, test fixtures, and the quick-turn parts that keep prototypes moving. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related, and 0–3 years of hands-on hardware experience (internships and project teams count)
- Fundamentals: Solid grasp of statics, strength of materials, materials selection, and GD&T basics
- Tool Fluency: Proficient in SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings, comfortable with a 3D printer, basic machine tools, and hand tools
- Hands-on: You've assembled, tested, and debugged something physical and can show it
- Clarity of Communication: You write clear test notes and design summaries and ask for help early
- Growth + Optimism: Excited by new domains and challenges, and eager to pick up new context fast

You'll design in SolidWorks, build what you design, and test it on real robots.
This is an on-site role based at our new Boston-area office, where Bolt is designed, built, and tested, with some flexibility on days in the office once you're up to speed. You'll work next to the build area, electronics lab, and test floor. Relocation assistance is available.
