Job summary

Matic Robots Inc. is hiring a mechanical design engineer to own parts and sub-assemblies from concept to high-volume production. You’ll ship parts that are used in customers’ homes and see your work in the field within months.

This role is for someone who wants hands-on hardware experience and to build judgment from real-world production outcomes. You’ll work across EE, firmware, software, and industrial design in a fast-paced startup.

Qualifications

• A technical degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent.
• Around 2+ years of professional design experience typical, but demonstrated capability can compensate for less.

Responsibilities

• Design parts and sub-assemblies within a defined architecture and carry them through to mass production.
• Build your own prototypes, break them, and iterate fast.
• Run component level testing for performance, durability, and part-to-part variability.
• Write and execute accelerated test plans that predict field behavior.
• Release production-ready 2D drawings that a supplier can quote and build without a follow-up call.
• Collaborate with vendors and CMs on DFM feedback, tooling reviews, and first article inspection.
• Collaborate with EE, firmware, software, and industrial design to balance parts within the system.
