Staff Hardware Engineer, Robotics Systems & Deployments

What you'll do

• Define scalable hardware architectures and technical roadmaps; lead design reviews, validation strategies, and high-risk hardware programs.
• Develop data-collection systems and manipulation hardware, coordinating with ML and data teams on how hardware affects data quality and policy performance.
• Lead customer workcell deployments, including technical discovery, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and development of deployment standards.

What they ask for

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, electrical engineering, or a related discipline—or equivalent practical experience.
• Typically 8+ years of experience developing complex mechanical, electromechanical, robotic, automation, or sensing systems.
• Track record leading complex hardware programs from ambiguous requirements through architecture, detailed design, validation, production, and field deployment.
• Deep proficiency with a modern 3D CAD platform such as SolidWorks, Onshape, Creo, or NX.

Nice to have

• Experience developing robotic manipulation hardware, such as grippers, tool changers, compliant mechanisms, or tactile or force-sensing systems.
• Experience architecting industrial robot, cobot, laboratory automation, warehouse automation, or machine-vision workcells.
