Robotics Hardware Design Engineer

Robotics Hardware Design Engineer

You will work closely with cross-functional teams including electronics, software,hardware and operations to ensure seamless product integration and functional excellence. If you're excited about building real-world robotic products and enjoy turning ideas into robust, manufacture ready designs, we’d love to have you on our team.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to the mechanical design of robotic components, assemblies, and mechanisms.
• Translate product requirements into 3D CAD models, technical drawings, and Bill of Materials (BOM).
• Collaborate with electronics and software teams to ensure design compatibility and system-level integration.
• Participate in design reviews, prototype iterations, and validation tests.
• Apply DFM (Design for Manufacturing) principles and support transition from prototype to production.
• Coordinate with vendors for fabrication, sourcing, and quality control of mechanical components.

Create and maintain technical documentation, including assembly guides and design reports.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering/ Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 2–3 years of industry experience in mechanical/product design, preferably in robotics, automation, or mechatronic systems.
• Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks and/or Fusion 360).
• Solid understanding of mechanical design fundamentals:
• Kinematics
• Mechanism design
• Materials and manufacturing
• Tolerance stack-up
• Fasteners, motion components, and bearings
• Strong knowledge of fit types (clearance, interference, etc.) and application of GD&T for precise manufacturing
• Experience performing load path analysis, torque estimation, and basic structural analysis for robotic mechanisms
• Experience with rapid prototyping and testing physical components.
• Working knowledge of how mechanical systems interface with electronics and embedded software.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.

Preferred to Have

• Experience with DFM, rapid prototyping (3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, etc.)
• Familiarity with FEA, motion simulation, or other mechanical analysis tools.
• Exposure to robotics projects (either professional or academic) involving real-time motion systems, manipulators, etc.
• Basic understanding of motor selection, drive-train design, and sensor integration.
• Prior experience in preparing and presenting design documentation for stakeholder review.
