Staff Mechanical Engineer

Our client is an innovative Series B robotics company at the forefront of automation technology. They build advanced autonomous mobile robots that are transforming how freight and logistics operations work, with a core focus on automating trailer loading and unloading to improve speed, safety, and consistency across the supply chain.
As the company continues to scale rapidly, they’re adding a Staff Mechanical Engineer to their core engineering organization. This role is ideal for a seasoned hands-on engineer who will own the mechanical design strategy for their flagship robotic systems. You’ll lead the end‑to‑end development of complex hardware—from early concept and prototyping through high‑volume manufacturing—while serving as a technical leader across programs and influencing the long-term mechanical roadmap of the platform.

Responsibilities
● Own mechanical architecture decisions and lead the design of key subsystems for autonomous mobile robots.
● Serve as the technical lead across multidisciplinary teams to ensure mechanical, electrical, and software integration.
● Spearhead the design and deployment of new hardware capabilities for cargo handling and storage on and above the robot platform.
● Lead the transition from prototype to production, developing scalable, cost-effective, and reliable systems.
● Identify and solve critical electromechanical reliability challenges in real-world operating environments.
● Mentor other engineers and contribute to team best practices, reviews, and engineering culture.
