Our Platform Evaluation team tests and benchmarks alternative robotics platforms, including mobile manipulators, AMRs/AGVs, and other form factors, against our current production baseline. The team builds custom mobile manipulators by combining off-the-shelf components from different AMR and robot arm manufacturers, for example mounting one or more arms from a given vendor onto an AMR base from another.
As the Robotics Mechanical Design Engineer, you will own the mechanical design of these custom configurations end to end: mocking up multiple iterations (different arm brands, mounting positions, and configurations), modeling them fully in CAD, and preparing designs for simulation and physical build.
You will work closely with the Platform Evaluation engineers, who validate designs in simulation (NVIDIA Isaac Sim) and in physical testing once built. This is a hands-on mechanical and mechatronic design role, not a robotics software or controls position.
