Founding Manufacturing Engineer

About Infi Robotics

Infi’s mission is to unlock physical abundance and reindustrialize America by building the Universal Factory: a fully autonomous, general-purpose factory that can turn any design into a finished product.

We are a robotics-native contract manufacturer helping hardware companies scale from prototype to production at our factory in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our initial focus is automated assembly for robots, drones, and other intelligent hardware.

The role

Own the engineering that turns customer designs into working products and repeatable production. You’ll build and troubleshoot electromechanical hardware yourself, design fixtures and test systems, and work directly with customers and our robotics team to improve how products get made.

What you’ll do

• Work directly with customers to understand their products, review CAD, drawings, schematics, and bills of materials, and resolve build questions.
• Build and troubleshoot products yourself, working across mechanical assemblies, electronics, wiring, and test.
• Design fixtures and test setups, choose tools, and develop clear assembly instructions and quality checks with technicians.
• Lead early builds, resolve defects and design changes, and provide realistic inputs on cost and lead time. Partner with the robotics engineer to make suitable assembly steps easier to automate.

What you’ll bring

A broad understanding of how electromechanical products are designed, assembled, and tested, backed by things you’ve built yourself. You should be comfortable with CAD, mechanical drawings, electrical diagrams, bench troubleshooting, and communicating with customers. Experience taking hardware from prototype into repeatable production is especially useful. We welcome backgrounds in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, hardware development, NPI, and manufacturing engineering.
