3+ years in a professional Mechanical Engineering environment, preferably Robotics, Automotive, or Aerospace
Strong CAD modeling experience (e.g. Onshape)
Experience with metals and plastics manufacturing processes
Experience in robotics actuation systems (e.g. BLDC motors, gearboxes, encoders, torque sensors)
Experience in fluid systems (e.g. water pumps, valves, nozzles)
Experience writing basic software for test benches independently (Python, C++)
These skills are a plus:
Experience building custom PCBs
You have built articulated robots before (e.g. a robot arm or robot leg, quadruped, humanoid)
You have contributed building a hardware product shipped in the hundreds of units to customers
Don't worry if you don't hit every check-mark. We value people who learn fast and care about building great products. Just give it a go and apply.
