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 to reliability testing.
  • Experience in designing real-world interfaces and tolerances.
  • Skilled in intentional failure testing and data instrumentation.
  • Proficient in collaborative work with controls and software teams.
  • Bonus: Knowledge of end effector design and GD&T, familiarity with low-volume DFM, server and rack hardware.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer mechanical systems for data center robotics, focusing on end effectors and docking mechanisms.
  • Design how robots interact with equipment originally made for human use.
  • Rapidly prototype concepts and conduct rigorous testing within weeks.
  • Ensure successful transition of working prototypes to production-ready hardware.
  • Address design for manufacturability (DFM), reliability, and maintenance of unattended systems.

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.
