Job Details

Overview

Mechatronic Engineer (AI Robotic) - SF Onsite. We are hiring for one of our ecosystem projects - a pioneering tech company developing a groundbreaking cross-platform robot operating system infused with AI, whose mission is to create robots that learn rapidly, are easy to train, and excel at interacting dynamically with both their environment and humans. Building vision-language-action models (VLAMs) and integrating them with other AI technologies to enable robots to understand and interact with the physical world.

We are looking for a mid to senior level Mechanical Engineer. In this role, you will play a crucial part in designing and developing innovative robotic systems that integrate advanced AI technologies. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to create efficient and reliable hardware solutions, contributing to the entire product lifecycle from concept through production. Your expertise in circuit design and system architecture will help us build robots that are safe, governable, and capable of interacting seamlessly with their environments.

If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of robotics and AI, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of circuit boards and systems for robotic applications, utilizing complex architectures and custom circuitry.
