At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
You will design the structural skeleton of the hand system — the palms, fingers, linkages, and housings that must survive real-world abuse while holding the precision that fine manipulation demands.
Design the structural architecture of the hand — palm, fingers, linkages, and pivots
Own design-for-manufacturing of structural parts, including die-cast and injection-molded components, from prototype through production
Integrate thermal paths with the actuation system so dense actuator packages stay within limits
Engineer for robustness: the hand must tolerate impacts, drops, and sustained real-world abuse
Hold the precision required for fine motor control and repeatable grasping
Design lightweight, body-safe structures for wearable devices
Experience with die-cast and injection-mold part design, including DFM for volume production
Thermal design experience, especially integrating heat paths with actuators in dense packages
Strong background in linkage, pivot, and small-mechanism design
Proven ability to design robust systems that tolerate impact and sustained abuse
Ability to design for precision where it matters, enabling fine motor control and reliable grasping
Experience with wearable or body-worn product structures
Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance-stack analysis for small mechanisms
