Senior Mechanical Engineer - Robotic Platforms

What you'll do

• Integrate robotic arms, payloads, wiring, and sensors with skid-steer and tracked vehicle platforms.
• Design rugged mechanical systems and environmental protection for varied payloads and outdoor conditions.
• Own structural analysis, validation testing, vendor coordination, and field debugging through production revisions.

What they ask for

• 7+ years of mechanical engineering experience, including meaningful experience at a robotics, autonomous systems, or heavy equipment company that scaled hardware into the field.
• Direct experience integrating robotic arms, actuators, or heavy payloads onto mobile platforms or equivalent heavy machinery.
• Experience designing to IP67 or stricter and shipping systems proven in outdoor environments; strong hands-on cabling and harness design experience.
• Expert CAD proficiency (OnShape/SolidWorks), GD&T, tolerance stacks, production drawings, and structural analysis; willingness to travel ~15–25% to field sites.

Nice to have

• Experience with construction, agricultural, or mining equipment, or defense ground vehicles; designing platforms for multiple configurations.
• Perception-stack integration, hydraulics, pneumatics, high-current DC power, supplier relationships, or experience in desert or northern-climate conditions.

Tools

OnShape, SolidWorks, FEA, LiDAR, IMUs, IP67

AI focus

Robotics and AI systems perform construction-site tasks, verification, and planning; this role focuses on mechanical integration of the robotic platforms.
