Mechanical Engineer

We’re working with a well‑funded robotics company in the surgical space that is building a next-generation robotic platform focused on precision and reliability. This is a hands‑on, design‑heavy role and a key hire as the team develops a brand‑new robot.

They’re hiring at the Mechanical Engineer II or III level
, depending on experience.

You’ll be a core contributor to the mechanical design of motor‑driven robotic systems. This role is heavily focused on design and development, not sustaining or maintenance work. You’ll work closely with a small, experienced engineering team and will be expected to operate with a high level of ownership, especially at the ME III level.

Hands‑on work with components such as:

• Ball screws
• Drive systems or drive trains
• Motors, motor drivers, encoders, and sensors

Strong mechanical fundamentals:

• GD&T
• Tolerance and stack‑up analysis
• Detailed 2D drawings
• CAD experience (Solid Works preferred, but other CAD tools are fine)
• Ability to work independently without heavy oversight

• Medical device or regulated product experience
• Exposure to design controls or engineering documentation
• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

Medical device experience is helpful but not required
. The team is open to training the right engineer if the robotics and mechanical fundamentals are strong.

• Typically targeting 1–5 years of experience
• Candidates with ~1-2 years will be considered if they have strong hands‑on robotic design experience
• Mechanical Engineering degree preferred but not mandatory
• Must be based in Texas already and willing to relocate or commute to Houston Location.
• 5 days onsite in Houston

• Work on a brand‑new robotic system from the ground up
• High ownership and real technical impact
• Stable, permanent role with strong leadership and funding
• Clear interview process and fast feedback
