About the role

Design parts and sub-assemblies from concept through high-volume production for home robotics hardware, with hands-on prototyping, rigorous testing, and direct involvement with vendors and manufacturing partners to ensure parts ship and perform in customers’ homes.

Responsibilities

  • Design parts and sub-assemblies within a defined architecture, and carry them through to mass production
  • Build your own prototypes, break them, and iterate fast
  • Run component level testing for performance, durability, and part to part variability
  • Write and execute accelerated test plans that predict field behavior
  • Release production-ready 2D drawings that a supplier can quote and build without a follow-up call
  • Work directly with vendors and CMs on DFM feedback, tooling reviews, and first article inspection
  • Collaborate with EE, firmware, software, and industrial design to keep your parts balanced against the rest of the system

Qualifications

  • A technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent
  • 2+ years of professional design experience (or demonstrated equivalent)
  • Parts you personally designed that are in production today, with ability to explain features and rationale
  • Fluency in at least one high volume manufacturing process (injection molding, die casting, stamping, or metal injection molding) with depth on gate placement, draft, knit lines, sink, warp
  • Tolerance stack-ups on owned assemblies, datum scheme decisions, and how to handle non-closing stacks
  • GD&T applied on drawings you produce
  • SolidWorks proficiency deep enough to avoid CAD bottlenecks
  • Experience with PDM/PLM, ECOs, and quality systems
  • FEA used to inform decisions with awareness of model limitations
  • A debugging instinct to trace field failures back to design decisions
  • Comfort with startup pace and willingness to build it to learn from it

Benefits

  • Equity through discretionary equity program
  • Medical, dental and vision coverage
  • 401(k) plan
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health and retirement options
