Mechanical Design Engineer

About Us:
Founded in 2019, Peer Robotics is a collaborative mobile robotics company, building material handling & Operations Assistance solutions for small and medium-scale manufacturers. Today’s automation is extremely difficult to integrate and deploy, limiting adoption to large enterprises. At Peer, we have brought together a team of experts in the field of robotics, hardware, and software to build robots capable of learning from humans in real time, providing flexible and adaptable solutions that can be deployed by people on the shop floor.

Our vision is to build robots that are as simple as smart home devices to integrate and deploy on the shop floors. We are a venture-backed startup with active sales, deployments, and revenue in the US and India. With a strong focus on R&D and product development.

Our target customers are automotive, electronics, machine tools, and aerospace manufacturers with revenues between $50-$200M, typically privately owned and tier 2-3 suppliers of large enterprises.

Role Overview
The Mechanical Design Engineer will operate both as an entrepreneur and an advanced individual contributor. Using a broad range of skill sets and practical experience in successfully architecting, designing, and implementing Mechanical Design for complex autonomous systems. The role would require a strong understanding of mechanical, controls, system architecture, and product development. The role will require exceptional communication skills to understand end customers' requirements and pain points and develop innovative product designs to solve those challenges.

Location: Gurugram
Desired Experience: Successfully built mechanical systems (preferably robots) that are active/deployed

Values of our Company:

• Customer First: We build solutions with the mindset of empowering the user. Anything that we build or develop is measured on its impact on our users.
