Mechatronics Engineer (Lead)

What you'll do

• Own the system from concept and design through build, deployment, and field reliability; support other flagship products as needed.
• Design end-effectors and mechatronics, and integrate cameras, force, torque, and tactile sensing with a 6DOF arm.
• Operationalize learned manipulation policies by building demonstration-data pipelines, integrating inference with real-time control, and testing performance on hardware.

What they ask for

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or similar.
• At least 10 years of full-time on-the-job experience; demonstrated technical depth and delivery of a robotic system from concept to delivery.
• Demonstrated work with 6DOF or similar cobot arms; working knowledge of Python or a similar language.
• Strong understanding of AI tools; must be free to work without visa sponsorship.

Nice to have

• Hands-on manipulation or grasping experience, or experience with learned policies such as VLA, imitation learning, or ROS.
• M.S. degree; familiarity with manipulation stacks such as ROS or ROS 2, OpenVLA or pi-0 style policies, RT-style models, and sim-to-real.

Pay

$170,000 - $190,000 per year (base salary)

Tools

VLA, Python, ROS, ROS 2, OpenVLA, pi-0, imitation learning, 6DOF

AI focus

Integrate and run learned VLA and manipulation policies on robots, collect and curate demonstration data, and debug and evaluate real-world performance; training models from scratch is not required.
