Staff Mechanical Engineer - Upper Body

We’re hiring a Staff Mechanical Engineer / Technical Lead to help define the future of humanoid robotics.

This is a rare opportunity to lead the mechanical architecture of a next-generation humanoid robot platform, owning critical upper-body systems including the torso, arms, and head assemblies.

The role sits at the intersection of advanced robotics, industrial design, and high-density electromechanical integration — requiring someone equally comfortable with kinematics, structural design, thermal packaging, and translating visionary product design into manufacturable hardware.

What you’ll be working on:
• Leading architecture and development of complex robotic upper-body systems
• Designing high-DOF mechanisms and dynamic robotic structures
• Solving extremely challenging packaging problems involving compute, batteries, sensors, cooling, and harnessing
• Driving Class-A surfacing and integration between engineering and industrial design teams
• Developing robust chassis structures capable of handling real-world impact and operational loads
• Leading DVT, lifecycle testing, and system-level validation activities
• Mentoring engineers and influencing cross-functional technical direction

What we’re looking for:
• Strong background designing robotic arms, humanoids, or highly dynamic electromechanical systems
• Expertise in CAD and surfacing tools such as NX, Catia, or SolidWorks
• Experience with complex subsystem integration in constrained environments
• Strong understanding of structural mechanics, thermal constraints, and cable/harness routing
• Ability to lead through influence in highly cross-functional engineering environments
• Background in robotics, aerospace, automotive, consumer hardware, or related advanced hardware industries

Ideal experience includes:
• Humanoid robotics
• High-performance mechatronics
• Wearables/exoskeletons
• Automotive interiors or ruggedized electronics packaging
• Advanced robotic manipulation systems
