Job description

Mechanical Engineer, Atlas Hardware Co-Op### Mechanical Engineer, Atlas Hardware Co-OpApply: Waltham Office (POST): Posted Today: R3318We’re looking for an ambitious, self-starting, hands-on mechanical engineering co-op to join the team building Atlas, our humanoid robot. Our co-ops design, build, and test prototypes; they investigate weird problems; and they run experiments of all kinds. Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges. For years, our awe-inspiring viral videos on YouTube have shown the world what remarkably capable robots can do. Now we are quickly becoming a recognized leader in automation solutions for industrial applications, warehouse logistics and general purpose labor. **What our co-ops do*** Work with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to help design and support complex robotic systems* Plan and perform verification and validation testing on prototype and production systems* Design and develop new features for existing products* Troubleshoot issues, perform root cause failure analysis and design/implement corrective actions to sustain existing products* Design and release parts and assemblies using Catia CAD software* Develop and maintain product support documentation including bills of material (BOMs) and detailed part/assembly drawings* Support system design analyses, including reliability, DFM / DFA, cost-reduction **What we want to see in our co-ops:*** A demonstrated passion for robotics and mechanical design* Design experience w/ 3D CAD tools (CATIA, Solidworks, Onshape, &c.)* That you’re hands-on.
