Mechanical Engineer

The role

You will design and build robots and automation for the construction industry. You will work on full robot autonomy, designing for reliability, and building next-gen hardware. This includes hands-on field work to stress-test systems on construction sites.

What you will do

• Pushing toward full robot autonomy for masonry systems
• Designing for reliability in harsh construction conditions
• Building next-gen hardware for higher-precision placement and larger payloads
• Joining deployments to build real homes and stress-test systems in the field
• Scoping problems and doing back of the envelope calculations
• Fabricating parts in the workshop
• Iterating on designs to produce robust and scalable solutions

Required qualifications

• Proven record of being a builder and working autonomously
• Experience in designing and delivering products from concept up to low series volume
• Proficiency in rapid prototyping, 3D printing, machining, and milling
• Deep knowledge of mechanical systems and structural dynamics including statics, mechanics of materials, dynamics, vibrations, material science, and controls
• Expertise with 3D CAD modeling with complex parts and assemblies such as OnShape, Solidworks, or Siemens NX
• Expertise in multi-physics simulations (FEA) applied to structural designing problems such as Comsol and Ansys
• Experience selecting, sourcing, and integrating electronics components like actuators, sensors, and cameras into hardware design

Nice to have

• Being able to write (embedded) code in C or C++
• B.Sc. in mechanical, mechatronics, or robotics engineering or similar experience
