## About the role

Execute with speed and rigor. You know when to optimize for learning velocity vs. execution velocity, when to run a simulation vs. build a prototype, and when to use OTS hardware vs. build something custom. Effectively evaluate and communicate trade-offs. You will work with stakeholders across chemistry, AI, hardware, and software to define the appropriate scope for the robotic systems that you’ll design and own. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of cradle to grave hardware design experience, preferably across multiple engineering domains. Robotics specific experience is nice-to-have but not strictly necessary
- Hands-on mechanical intuition. You are comfortable building and working in the physical world, and have a strong sense of what will work and what won’t
- A demonstrated track record of making complex hardware projects come to life and work in the real world
- Strong debugging skills with integrated electrical/mechanical/software systems
- Exceptional ability to use digital and physical tools to accelerate your work and improve its quality. FEA, Claude/Codex, CAD, 3D printing, laser cutting, sheetmetal bending, mill, lathe, etc
- Strong mechanical design and engineering fundamentals. Functional tolerance stackups, material properties, statics, dynamics, freebody diagrams, kinematic constraints, actuator selection/sizing, thermals, electronics packaging, etc
