Robotics Hardware Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a hands-on Robotics Hardware Engineer to work on real-world robotics and automation systems. You will contribute across mechanical design, engineering analysis, electronics, controls, prototyping and system integration—from an initial concept through testing and iteration.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Design and develop mechanical components, mechanisms and assemblies for robotic and automation systems.
• Perform engineering calculations and analysis to validate design strength, performance and reliability.
• Select and integrate sensors, actuators, motors, controllers, processors and supporting electrical components.
• Build, test and troubleshoot electromechanical prototypes, iterating designs based on test results.
• Support electrical/control-panel design, wiring, power systems and system integration.
• Ability to work effectively across mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines.
• Leverage AI tools for engineering research, design exploration and technical problem solving.

TECHNICAL SKILLS
• Mechanical CAD: SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or AutoCAD; 3D modelling, assemblies, engineering drawings and basic GD&T.
• Engineering Analysis: FEA, static analysis and basic dynamic analysis; ability to interpret results and validate them using engineering fundamentals.
• Electronics & Controls: Fundamentals of sensors, actuators, motors, controllers and processors; basic control-panel design and electrical wiring.
• Power Systems: Understanding of DC power, voltage/current requirements, motor power, power supplies and basic electrical protection.
• Embedded & Computing Hardware: Exposure to Jetson devices and other embedded computing platforms used in robotics applications.
• Prototyping & Fabrication: Hands-on experience with assembly, soldering/wiring, 3D printing, machining or other prototyping methods.
• Component Selection: Ability to evaluate components based on load, torque, speed, power, operating conditions, reliability and cost.
• Engineering with AI: Ability to use AI tools to research technical topics, evaluate design alternatives, troubleshoot problems and improve engineering workflows.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
• 1–3 years of relevant experience in mechatronics, robotics, automation, mechanical engineering or a closely related field.
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related discipline.
• Strong engineering fundamentals with the ability to connect theoretical concepts to physical systems.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR
• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking.
• Hands-on approach to building, testing and improving physical systems.
• Proactive mindset with a willingness to take ownership of engineering problems.
• Ability to think on their feet and troubleshoot under changing or uncertain conditions.
• Clear and concise communication, both verbal and written.
• Ability to work effectively across mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies, tools and engineering methods.

GOOD TO HAVE
• Experience with industrial robotics, AMRs/AGVs, robotic arms, conveyors or warehouse automation.
• Experience with Jetson Orin or similar NVIDIA edge-computing platforms.
• Exposure to motors, encoders, motor drivers, PLCs or industrial automation hardware.
• Experience with 3D printing, CNC, machining or fabrication processes.
• Basic understanding of robotics system integration, electrical safety and machine safety.

ROLE FIT
We are looking for an engineer who enjoys solving real-world robotics problems across mechanical, electrical and control systems. The ideal candidate combines strong engineering fundamentals with a hands-on mindset, takes ownership of problems, and is comfortable designing, testing, troubleshooting and iterating until the system works.
