Mechatronics Engineer: Build & Ship Home Robots

Weave Robotics; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Weave Robotics in San Francisco is seeking an integrated hardware engineer to shape the next generation of home robots. You will design electromechanical assemblies, own thermal paths, and ensure manufacturability while collaborating across the engineering team.

This role involves hands-on prototyping, harness design, and debugging across electrical and mechanical domains, with opportunities to influence product readiness from prototype through EVT/DVT and production.

Qualifications

• Experience shipping electromechanical systems.
• CAD and mechanical fundamentals including tolerance stacks, GD&T.
• Ability to read schematics and design harnesses.
• Design for manufacturability and testing.
• Cross-domain debugging across electrical/mechanical.

Responsibilities

• Design electromechanical assemblies: the robot’s base, arms, structures, mounts, and enclosures, with the electronics packaging, grounding, and serviceability thought through from the start.
• Own the harnesses: wire gauging, connector selection, routing through moving joints, strain relief, and drawings clean enough that the harness shop builds it right the first time.
• Own thermal at the robot level: heat paths, heatsinks, fans and airflow, traded against acoustics and ingress.
• Design the robot’s periphery: charging dock and contacts, e-stop chain, lights, speakers, buttons.
• Build test infrastructure: rigs, fixtures, and instrumented setups that let design teams and the production line prove things instead of assuming them.
• Integrate and debug the whole robot: when a fault could be the harness, the board, or the bracket, you're the one who finds out which.
• Support builds and production: prototype assembly, EVT/DVT builds, DFM/DFA with the manufacturing team, and design changes that land on the line.
