Mechanical Design Engineer II

Feather Robotics; San Francisco (CA); Presencial; USD 90 000 - 130 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Feather Robotics is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with 2-4 years of industry experience to own a subsystem of a novel humanoid robot. You will take projects from sketch to deployed units, spending most of your time in CAD and on the bench, contributing to rapid prototyping and robust production processes.

You will design components and assemblies for manufacturability, write control software for your mechanisms, and iterate on hardware with a small team that ships robots.

Qualificações

• 2–4 years of industry experience in mechanical product design.
• Experience with design for manufacturability and rapid prototyping.
• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer with 2-4 years of industry experience designing parts and assemblies that made it into production. You’ll own a subsystem of a novel, top-secret product for our humanoid platform, taking it from first sketch to deployed units within a tight-knit team that has been shipping robots for the past year. This is a hands‑on design role, and you’ll spend most of your time in CAD and on the bench.

About Feather

Feather is a VC-backed startup assembling a world‑class team to build general‑purpose robots. While competitors pursue end‑to‑end integration, we are focused on creating the best labor platform on which others will build, monetize, and scale, fostering an ecosystem of solutions akin to Apple’s or Nvidia’s.

We’ve moved through the hardware lifecycle at lightspeed -- building our first prototype in two months, fulfilling our first order in nine months, and reaching $1M in orders in under two years. Our units are deployed across several fields today, including cooking, retail, manufacturing, and more.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical components and assemblies for humanoid robots, from concept through production
• Own design for manufacturability, prototyping quickly with 3D printing and machining before developing long‑term processes and materials that scale
• Write and integrate control software for the mechanisms you design
• Build, test, iterate, and debug on real hardware

What we’re looking for

• 2-4 years of industry experience in mechanical product design (robotics, consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace or similar)
• Industry manufacturing experience (e.g., injection molding, DFM at volume) preferred
• Fluency with CAD and rapid prototyping
• Software fluency is a plus
• GD&T
• Documentation and technical writing
• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field

Why Join Us

• Be the architect of a novel humanoid platform instead of working on only one small fragment
• Shape the future of robotics and physical AI in a talented, driven team that values ownership, speed, and creativity
• We have the capital, the hardware ownership, and the generational upside to make this your life’s work
