## About the role

We're building Bolt, a mobile manipulation platform: an autonomous mobile base carrying our robot arms. We're hiring two Senior Mechanical Engineers to own major subsystems of that platform. These include: the chassis, drivetrain and suspension, wheel modules, battery mounting, the control box, compute, and safety hardware, with its thermal management, cabling, and service access. You'll take your subsystem from concept through prototype builds, test, and production release, and work hands-on in the shop and lab. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Experience: Bachelor's or graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related) and 5+ years designing, building, and testing electromechanical products, including designs you've taken through production release
- Mechanical Depth: Strong in structures and mechanisms — load paths, stiffness and fatigue, bearings and drivetrain components, fasteners and joints, tolerance analysis
- Manufacturing: DFM for sheet metal, castings, machining, weldments, and injection molding, you know what each process costs and where it fails
- Analysis: Hand calcs first, FEA when it earns its keep, you can size a part and defend the numbers
- Tool Fluency: Proficient in SolidWorks (parts, large assemblies, drawings, simulation) and a PDM/PLM release process
- Clarity of Communication: Clear design documentation, crisp trade studies, and design reviews that make your peers better
