Job description

I am hiring for a Senior Mechanical Engineer on behalf of a well-funded, rapidly growing robotics company developing advanced automation technology for a large-scale industrial application. The company is building a next-generation robotic platform designed to automate complex, traditionally manual processes. This is a highly hands-on opportunity within a small engineering team. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer you'll have significant ownership over the mechanical architecture and development of the product.

What's in it for you as a Senior Mechanical Engineer?

• Take end-to-end ownership of complex mechanical systems, from initial concept and prototyping through testing, production and real-world deployment.
• Work across robotic mechanisms, actuated systems, motion components and electromechanical assemblies.
• Join a high-growth robotics environment where engineers have significant autonomy and direct technical influence.

What the Ideal Mechanical Engineer Will Bring To The Table:

• 4+ years' experience developing complex mechanical systems from prototype to production.
• Expert-level CAD experience, with strong mechanical design and hands-on build skills.
• Strong fundamentals across FEA, statics, dynamics, tolerance analysis, fatigue and vibration.
• Strong experience with DFM/DFA, FMEA, BOM ownership.

Desirable Qualifications

• Experience designing robotic or automated systems.
• Experience with actuators, motors, gearboxes, transmissions or complex mechanisms.
• Experience taking hardware through prototype, pilot, production.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership robotics role where you'll design, build, test and deploy complex mechanical hardware in a real-world environment.
