About the role

Applications Mechanical Engineer/Designer for deploying Digit humanoids in customer environments. Responsible for translating customer use cases into CAD models, BOMs, and deployment-ready fixtures and workcells, with on-site testing and potential field installation.

Responsibilities

  • Design customer workcell layouts — robot placement, material flow, operator access, safety zones, and integration with existing customer infrastructure.
  • Design and detail custom fixtures, carts, jigs, staging equipment, and material handling interfaces specific to each customer deployment.
  • Test and integrate off-the-shelf hardware components into deployment configurations (bar-code scanners, 2D code readers, sensors, light curtains, mounting hardware).
  • Produce production-quality CAD models, detailed drawings, and BOMs suitable for fabrication, procurement, and field assembly.
  • Assist with customer site surveys to capture physical constraints (floor conditions, ceiling heights, dock configurations, utility access, material flow paths, existing equipment interfaces).
  • Support cell setup and commissioning on-site — hands-on troubleshooting of mechanical fit, fixture alignment, and hardware integration issues.
  • Adopt and adapt end-of-arm tooling and gripper interfaces for customer-specific manipulation requirements.
  • Collaborate with other team members on deployment configurations — translating mechanical design into robot programming parameters.
  • Build a library of reusable designs — standard cell layouts, common fixture patterns, proven hardware integration approaches.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in mechanical design, applications engineering, or a designer/drafter role with increasing responsibility demonstrated by a portfolio of deployed designs.
  • Proficiency producing detailed drawings and BOMs in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
  • Practical experience integrating off-the-shelf hardware components into mechanical assemblies — scanners, sensors, actuators, mounting systems.
  • Familiarity with standard fabrication methods: sheet metal, machining, weldments, 3D printing and the cost and lead time tradeoffs.
  • Hands-on capability to pick up tools, help assemble a fixture, troubleshoot a fit issue, and work alongside field technicians as/if needed.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity: incomplete data, evolving requirements, concurrent crises across multiple customer programs.
  • Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time for customer site surveys, deployment support, and commissioning.
