Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • 5-7 years of experience in mechanical design for robotics, automation, or mechatronics.
  • Proven track record of taking hardware from prototype through reliability testing.
  • Strong understanding of designing robust interfaces and tolerances for real-world applications.
  • Experience in intentional failure testing and thorough instrumentation.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with controls and software teams.
  • Familiarity with end effector and gripper design is a plus.
  • Knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles, especially in low volume production.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer mechanical components for data center robotics, including end effectors and docking systems.
  • Design integration methods for robotic interactions with human-designed equipment.
  • Rapidly prototype and test mechanical concepts to gather actionable data.
  • Transition successful prototypes into production with a focus on reliability and availability of spare parts.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure hardware and software integration functions as intended.

Benefits

  • Commitment to pay equity and transparency in compensation practices.
Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Engineer the mechanical side of data center robotics: end effectors, docking, and interfaces between robots and plant.
  • Design the physical integration: how robots handle, mate with, and service equipment designed for humans.
  • Prototype fast and test hard: concepts to instrumented trials in weeks.
  • Productionize what works: DFM, reliability, and spares for hardware that runs unattended.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've designed mechanical systems for robotics, automation, or mechatronics products.
  • You've taken hardware from prototype through reliability testing.
  • You design interfaces and tolerances that survive the real world.
  • You test to failure on purpose and instrument everything.
  • You work in fast loops with controls and software.
  • Bonus: End effector and gripper design. GD&T depth. DFM at low volume. Server and rack hardware familiarity.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
