About the role

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer leading end-to-end design of critical subsystems for a home robotics product, collaborating across hardware, software, and product teams to enable full home autonomy.

Responsibilities

  • Own a critical subsystem end to end: requirements, architecture, detailed design, validation, tooling, and ramp
  • Turn a vague product goal into a set of engineering requirements and defend the ones that matter when they conflict
  • Make and own tradeoffs across cost, mass, acoustics, serviceability, manufacturability, and reliability, and explain the reasoning to people outside your discipline
  • Own the tolerance budget for the full assembly, not just individual stacks
  • Decide where to spend analysis, where to spend test, and where to just build it
  • Drive suppliers from tooling kickoff through T1 and T2 to a qualified process, and hold the line on quality when the schedule pushes back
  • Own the failure investigations in your area, from field returns back to root cause and corrective action
  • Raise the technical level of the engineers around you through design reviews, mentorship, and the standard you set on your own drawings

Qualifications

  • A technical degree in mechanical engineering or related field
  • Most candidates have 5+ years of professional design experience on shipping high volume products (but demonstrated capability is valued)
  • Experience in NVH, motors, or turbo motors is a plus
