Robotics Application Engineer

What You'll Do

• Execute customer projects end-to-end - from scoping and solution design through onsite delivery, serving as the primary technical point of contact
• Design mechanical solutions including grippers, EOAT, fixtures, and work-cells; rapidly prototype and validate concepts before field deployment
• Drive AI model post-training and deployment on robot hardware, developing training strategies and partnering with robot pilots and data ops to build robust policies
• Become a product expert - develop deep knowledge of the full stack and internal workflows to accelerate customer onboarding and inform the roadmap
• Continuously improve by identifying failure patterns, building reusable design standards, and contributing to shared documentation

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field
• 3-6 years of experience in mechanical design for robotics, automation, manufacturing, or industrial systems
• Strong CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, OnShape, or equivalent)
• Experience designing grippers, tooling, fixtures, or electromechanical assemblies
• Hands-on prototyping experience (3D printing, machining, fabrication & assembly)
• Experience debugging robotic systems
• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts as applied to robotics (e.g., machine vision, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, or policy training)
• Ability to collaborate cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

• Experience working with robotic arms or humanoid systems
• Hands-on experience with robot policy training, fine-tuning, or deployment
• Experience integrating conveyors, AMRs, actuators, sensors, and other electromechanical devices
• Experience supporting real-world deployments or field installations - scoping timelines, managing deliverables, and coordinating across teams
• Experience coordinating external contractors or vendors for fabrication or integration

Why This Role

• Own the full customer journey - from first scoping call to live robot deployment - with direct visibility into how your solutions perform in the real world
• Work at the intersection of hardware design and AI, shaping how our robots learn and operate in production customer environments
• High ownership in a small team where your design decisions and deployment strategies directly influence the roadmap and scale of what we build next
