• Design and implement automated systems that combine electronic and mechanical components, including control devices, motion sensors, and programmable logic controllers.
• Generate CAD models, electrical schematics, and supporting documentation to align with design and compliance requirements.
• Conduct rigorous testing, validation, and debugging of systems to ensure reliability and safety in deployment.
• Foster collaboration and alignment across multiple stakeholders and disciplines.
• Create and manage project plans with clear timelines, risk mitigation strategies, and budget considerations.
• Help evolve and refine internal processes and standards.

Required Qualifications:

• 3–7 years of experience executing hands-on engineering projects involving robotics, automation, or electro-mechanical systems.
• Deep technical knowledge of mechanical and electrical subsystems, including motion control, sensor integration, and control systems.
• Proven experience with CAD tools, electrical design software, and prototyping platforms.
• Adept at navigating and aligning different disciplines and perspectives.
• Thorough approach to record-keeping and adherence to regulatory requirements.
• Be ready to hit the road (within the US) when projects need you to.

Preferred Experience:

• Background in startups, OEMs, or industrial automation companies delivering production-ready systems.
• Proven track record of scaling prototypes to full production or spearheading intricate system integration initiatives.
• Understanding of functional safety standards and regulated development frameworks.

What’s In It For You:

• Become part of a rapidly scaling team pushing the boundaries of robotics innovation.
