Mechanical Engineer, Reliability

The role

You will improve the reliability of robots to ensure they can operate on construction sites for months with minimal maintenance. You will own the loop from discovering field failures to designing, testing, and shipping validated fixes.

What you will do

• Ensure robots can build on construction sites for months with minimal downtime.
• Understand robot hardware and failure modes.
• Systematically improve robot design with respect to reliability.
• Conduct rigorous testing to validate improvements.
• Own the loop from discovering a failure in the field to a validated fix shipped to the fleet.
• Root cause failures, design and test fixes in the office, and validate them in the field.
• Define validation criteria for hardware and design rigs for reliability testing.
• Work with the maintenance team in the office and on deployments to fix maintenance pain points.

Required qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in reliability and test engineering, ideally in robotics.
• Experience making and repairing electromechanical assemblies.
• Experience shipping hardware from prototype through to medium-series production.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, and producing 2D and 3D drawings.
• Strong experience with environmental and mechanical reliability tests: IP, temperature, vibration and shock.

Nice to have

• BSc in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent.
• Examples of delivering complex electromechanical assemblies that operated at scale in harsh environments.
• Experience developing accelerated life reliability tests.
• Experience with electric motors, gearboxes, or actuators
