Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer (Mechanical) to lead the mechanical design and integration of delivery robots into Client’s last-mile delivery ecosystem, with a primary focus on delivery van and station infrastructure modifications.

This role owns the mechanical systems required to safely, reliably, and efficiently support in-van robot docking, charging, storage, deployment, and retrieval, as well as station-side cart docking and robot handoff workflows.

The Senior Hardware Engineer will work at the intersection of vehicle engineering, robotics hardware, operations, and safety, translating operational requirements into production-ready mechanical designs that can scale across thousands of vans and delivery stations.

This role requires strong mechanical design expertise, deep ownership, and the ability to balance robustness, cost, serviceability, and manufacturability in a high-volume logistics environment.

Key job responsibilities-

• Own the mechanical design and integration of robot-related systems within delivery vans, including robot docking, retention, deployment, and secure transport.
• Design in-van charging solutions for robots, including mechanical interfaces, alignment features, thermal considerations, and serviceability requirements.
• Lead mechanical design for robot ingress/egress mechanisms, ramps, guides, or fixtures that enable safe and repeatable robot deployment and retrieval.
• Define and implement station-side infrastructure such as cart docking, robot staging, and handoff interfaces that integrate with existing warehouse workflows.
• Translate operational and autonomy requirements into clear mechanical requirements, tolerances, and design constraints.
• Partner with electrical, firmware, robotics, and vehicle engineering teams to ensure end-to-end system integration.
• Drive designs through concept, prototyping, validation, and production, including DFMEA, tolerance analysis, and environmental testing.
• Ensure solutions meet safety, ergonomics, and regulatory requirements, including vehicle and workplace safety standards.
• Optimize designs for cost, manufacturability, durability, and ease of maintenance at fleet scale.
• Support pilot deployments and field testing, rapidly iterating designs based on real-world feedback from drivers and operations teams.
