Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking candidates who are passionate about mechanical design, mechanism design, and robotics. We are looking for individuals of different skill levels with different backgrounds, who are capable of functioning both in a tight-knit team and independently for extended periods of time. Robotics is a difficult field and we are looking for engineers who are okay not knowing the answers before they start. (If you do know the answers please apply, we could really use those)

The ideal candidate will have been involved in the development of articulated robots in the past. If you don't have a lot of robotics experience, but have a good portfolio, or are willing to jump in the deep end, we still encourage you to apply.  Applicants must have good communication and documentation skills, and thrive in both a team and individual environment.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar, with 2 plus years of design experience.
• SolidWorks / OnShape user, or equivalent
• Familiarity with mechanism design
• Experience with finite element analysis

Preferred Qualifications (Not required, but would fit really well with our workflow):

• Experience in lightweight design
• Design with composites (e.g. carbon fiber)
• Experience with electromechanical systems, hydraulic systems, sensors, motors
• Data driven design experience
• Java or Python Programming
