Hands-on Mechatronics Engineer for Humanoid Robots

Menlo; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 100,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Menlo Research in San Francisco is seeking a Mechatronics Engineer to design and develop the systems that make Asimov move. You’ll work at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and control engineering, taking subsystems from concept to working hardware on a real robot.

This hands-on role demands CAD proficiency, experience taking hardware from prototype to production-ready, and strong collaboration with controls and software teams in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• Degree or equivalent hands-on background in mechatronics, mechanical, electrical, or robotics engineering.
• CAD proficiency and experience with CAD tools.
• Experience taking hardware from concept through prototype to working system.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechatronic subsystems: actuators, joints, drivetrains, and sensor integration.
• Prototype rapidly, then test, characterize, and iterate toward production-ready hardware.
• Model and analyze mechanical designs for load, tolerance, and structural integrity.
• Bring up and debug systems across mechanical, electrical, and firmware layers.
• Work closely with controls, software, and hardware teams to close the loop from design to motion.
• Document designs, test results, and decisions clearly, tied to tickets or Linear workflows.
• Own subsystems end to end, from first sketch to working hardware on the robot.
