Mechanical Engineer (Autonomous Vehicle Team)

Why We Are Hiring for This Role:

• Design, test, and integrate electric motors, gearboxes, and drivetrain components 
• Develop and validate custom electromechanical actuators
• Design and analyze structures with FEA and modal tools. 
• Support prototype builds with hands-on fabrication, test setups, and troubleshooting
• Create and maintain CAD models, drawings, and documentation for mechanical subsystems
• Collaborate with electrical, software, and controls engineers to integrate hardware into complete vehicle systems
  Analyze test data to guide design improvements and ensure system reliability in rugged off-road conditions
• Contribute to rapid prototyping and iteration cycles, from R&D concepts to field deployment

What Kind of Person We Are Looking For:

• Experience designing or testing rotating machinery (motors, transmissions, gearboxes) and/or robotic actuation mechanical design. 
• Familiarity with sensors, wiring, and electromechanical integration
• 4–6 years of experience in mechanical design, testing, or integration (robotics, EVs, automotive, aerospace, or mechatronics)
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, Onshape, or similar) for electromechanical systems
• Comfortable with prototyping, test setups, and hands-on troubleshooting in the lab and field
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field

Benefits:

• We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, stock, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

Salary:

• The annual compensation is expected to be between $110,000 - $150,000+. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
