Help us redefine the very foundation of robotics and build robots that are smart, collaborative, robust, safe, flexible and genuinely autonomous.

As a mechanical engineer at Robust AI you will join a small fast-paced team working to design and deploy the next generation of warehouse robotic systems. Working with the other engineers on the team you will help concept, design, build and test subsystems of our robot. You are someone who is excited about seeing robots deployed at a large scale.

  • Engage cross functionally with industrial design, electrical engineering, product and software to make sure design decisions fit within the constraints of the system

  • Propose and resolve issues with current robot systems while accounting for engineering effort and budget

  • Rapidly iterate on design by building quick prototypes
  • Design and execute test plans for your designs
  • What you’ll bring to the table:
    • 9+ years of industry experience and BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent

    • Experience with Solidworks & PDM

    • Experience with user facing product design

    • Ability to communicate effectively cross functionally

    • Experience working with robotic or mechatronic systems

    • Ability to work independently

    • Experience working with and managing vendors

    What we offer:
  • Base pay between $160,000 and $210,000, dependent on your skills, qualifications and experience.

  • Stock options and huge potential for growth.

  • Strong startup (and fun) culture.

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.

  • Flexible vacation and sick leave practices.

  • Paid parental leave.
