We are looking for a Mechanical / Mechatronics Engineer with 3+ years of experience to own actuation end-to-end, from concept through production, at a stealth robotics company tackling hard, unsolved technical challenges. You're a decisive builder who ships things that work, fast, and you're motivated by making a massive positive impact for real people.
What will you be doing?
Designing, prototyping, and bringing actuators and mechanisms from concept to production
Developing motion control systems and actuation solutions for cutting-edge robotics hardware
Applying physics first principles to solve novel, technically demanding engineering problems
Iterating rapidly on mechanical and mechatronic designs with a bias toward action
Collaborating cross-functionally to integrate actuation systems into the broader product
Key Requirements
3+ years of hands-on experience designing and building actuators, mechanisms, or motion control systems
Proven track record of shipping impressive hardware — ideally in robotics, aerospace, drones, automotive, or surgical robotics
Strong understanding of physics first principles and mechanical design fundamentals
Experience at fast-paced, high-performance engineering environments (e.g., Tesla, SpaceX, Boston Dynamics, Neuralink, Skydio, or similar)
Decisive, low-ego builder mentality — you do, not just analyze
