The Mission
We are revolutionizing the construction industry through AI-powered robotics. By merging heavy-duty industrial machinery with high-precision automation, we are transforming how homes are built, delivering unprecedented speed and affordability. We are seeking a Senior Hardware & Robotics Engineer to design the next generation of construction automation equipment.
The RoleYou will be a key technical contributor designing mechanical systems, robotic mechanisms, and end effectors. You’ll take designs from concept through production deployment in real-world manufacturing environments.
Key Responsibilities- Mechanical Design: Create detailed CAD assemblies (Solid Works/Fusion 360) and perform structural analysis/FEA validation.
- Robotics Integration: Integrate industrial robots and specify sensor systems (vision, force/torque, and positioning).
- Prototyping & Validation: Build and test prototypes in a shop environment; conduct performance and failure mode analysis.
- Manufacturing Support: Support fabrication processes including CNC machining, welding, and sheet metal.
- Technical Leadership: Mentor junior engineers and lead cross‑functional design reviews with software and electrical teams.
- Experience: 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience in production or automation systems.
- CAD Mastery: Expert proficiency in parametric design tools (Solid Works, Fusion 360, or equivalent).
- Manufacturing IQ: Deep understanding of CNC machining, fabrication, and assembly for industrial environments.
- Prototyping: Hands‑on skills with the ability to move quickly from a digital model to a physical, working machine.
- Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
- Direct Impact: Your designs directly address the global housing crisis.
- Hands‑on Engineering: Full access to a dedicated shop and prototyping equipment.
- Growth: Competitive salary, equity participation, and a high‑autonomy culture.
