Job Description
Atlas is our next-generation humanoid robot, built to perform useful work in dynamic, real-world environments. Achieving that goal requires carefully engineered, heavily integrated, electro-mechanical actuators that are compact, efficient, and reliable under demanding conditions.
We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design and development of our tightly integrated actuator hardware-from electromechanical subsystems to complex assemblies with precision and load-bearing requirements. You will be responsible for delivering well-designed and tested components and subsystems that directly impact the robot's motion, manipulation, and overall performance.
Responsibilities:
Contribute to mechanical design efforts for key subsystems, from early concept through production.
Apply your knowledge to balance performance, manufacturability, and reliability across a range of mechanical requirements-torque, stiffness, mass, thermal behavior, and tolerance stack-ups.
Use simulation and analysis tools to guide decisions and validate your designs.
Collaborate closely with electrical and controls teams to ensure clean integration and testability.
Support prototyping, bring-up, and issue resolution throughout the product lifecycle.
You're a good fit if you:
Have strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including statics, dynamics, materials, and heat transfer.
Are fluent in CAD (we use 3DEXPERIENCE) and are confident in managing complex mechanical assemblies.
Have some experience designing and delivering precision hardware with tight packaging constraints.
Are learning how to trade off performance and risk in high-stakes, real-world systems.
Are comfortable working hands-on during development, test, and debug.
Qualifications:
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of relevant experience, or an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
Experience designing and delivering hardware from concept through validation.
Demonstrated ability to take ownership of mechanical designs in multidisciplinary projects.
