🚀 Senior Mechanical Engineer (Robotics / Automation)
📍 NYC (on-site) | 💰 Competitive + equity
We’re working with an early-stage team building next-gen automated manufacturing systems. This is a hands-on, 0→1 role focused on designing and deploying real-world robotic systems.
What you’ll do
- Own mechanical design of robotic systems (structures, tooling, end-effectors)
- Design and build automated workcells for production environments
- Lead integration of mechanical systems with controls and software
- Prototype, test, and iterate on mechanisms and assemblies
- Support on-site installs, debugging, and system optimization
What they want
- 4–10 yrs in mechanical design for robotics or automation
- Experience with mechanisms, actuators, or robotic tooling
- Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, etc.)
- Experience taking systems from concept → build → deployment
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, small teams
Not a fit if
- You’ve only worked on one narrow component
- Your work is mostly simulation or non-physical systems
If you enjoy building real machines and owning systems end-to-end, happy to connect.
