Structures EngineerYou will design the structural skeleton of the hand system - the palms, fingers, linkages, and housings that must survive real-world abuse while holding the precision that fine manipulation demands.
What You'll Do- Design the structural architecture of the hand - palm, fingers, linkages, and pivots
- Own design-for-manufacturing of structural parts, including die-cast and injection-molded components, from prototype through production
- Integrate thermal paths with the actuation system so dense actuator packages stay within limits
- Engineer for robustness: the hand must tolerate impacts, drops, and sustained real-world abuse
- Hold the precision required for fine motor control and repeatable grasping
- Design lightweight, body-safe structures for wearable devices
What You Bring- Experience with die-cast and injection-mold part design, including DFM for volume production
- Thermal design experience, especially integrating heat paths with actuators in dense packages
- Strong background in linkage, pivot, and small-mechanism design
- Proven ability to design robust systems that tolerate impact and sustained abuse
- Ability to design for precision where it matters, enabling fine motor control and reliable grasping
Nice to Have- Experience with wearable or body-worn product structures
- Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance-stack analysis for small mechanisms
