Job Description

We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join a team focusing on continuous improvement for a humanoid robot platform. In this role, you'll be responsible for driving design, process, and performance improvements across the entire robotic system, from individual components to the full-stack assembly. This position is ideal for a hands-on engineer with a passion for robotics and a proven track record of optimizing complex mechanical systems.

Lead continuous improvement initiatives, identifying and addressing design and manufacturing bottlenecks.

Conduct root cause analysis on system failures, performance issues, and production inefficiencies to implement robust solutions.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical, software, and manufacturing engineers, to integrate improvements seamlessly.

Optimize mechanical designs for manufacturability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Design, prototype, and test new components and sub-systems to enhance overall robot performance.

Develop and implement best practices for mechanical assembly, testing, and quality control.

Document all design changes and improvements thoroughly, ensuring clear communication and knowledge transfer.

Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers.
