Your Key ResponsibilitiesJoin our humanoid robotics team to innovate advanced robots, collaborate with experts, enhance your skills, and create transformative technologies that help shape the future of human-robot interaction.
- Design planetary gearset actuators for humanoid robots (and similar types).
- Create detailed mechanical designs for humanoid joint actuators, including 3D modeling, drafting, and prototyping. Ensure designs meet performance, safety, and durability requirements.
- Perform simulations and finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate the performance and structural integrity of actuator components. Optimize designs based on analysis results to improve efficiency and reliability.
- Identify and select appropriate materials for actuator components, considering factors such as strength, weight, and cost. Ensure materials meet industry standards and application requirements.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software developers, and manufacturing personnel. Ensure seamless integration of mechanical designs with other system components.
- Develop and execute test plans to validate the performance and reliability of humanoid joint actuators. Analyze test data and iterate on designs to address any issues or improvements.
Your Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Advanced degrees or specialized coursework in robotics or automation are a plus.
- 2+ years of experience using CAD software such as Creo, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or CATIA to develop detailed mechanical designs and 3D models.
- Strong knowledge of gear design is required, along with fundamental experience in planetary gear actuators.
- Familiarity with actuator systems including electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic actuators, with experience designing and optimizing these systems for humanoid robots.
- Strong analytical skills for conducting simulations and finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate and improve mechanical component performance. Ability to troubleshoot and resolve design challenges.
- Excellent teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams. Ability to document and present design processes, test results, and technical specifications clearly and concisely.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. This role does not offer visa sponsorship or support.
