About you and this role:

Robust AI is a fast-growing, early-stage startup founded in 2019 by an unsurpassed team of veterans in robotics, AI and business. We are a collaborative group with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, seeking talented individuals who are just as excited about robotics and AI as we are! Help us redefine the very foundation of robotics and build robots that are smart, collaborative, robust, safe, flexible and genuinely autonomous.

As a mechanical engineer at Robust AI you will join a small fast-paced team working to design and deploy the next generation of warehouse robotic systems. Working with the other engineers on the team you will help concept, design, build and test subsystems of our robot. You're passionate about bringing robotics from the lab to the real world—at scale. You thrive in the scrappy, fast-moving environment of an early-stage startup, where being adaptable and pivoting effectively isn't just helpful, it's essential.The base pay range for this role is between $130,000 and $160,000, dependent on your skills, qualifications and experience.

Main responsibilities:

  • Work with the mechanical team to deliver the next generation design of our robot
  • Design and manage components across the HW lifecycle (concept, design, fabrication, test, production)
  • Engage cross functionally with electrical engineering, product and software to make sure design decisions fit within the constraints of the system
  • Propose and resolve issues with current robot systems while accounting for engineering effort and budget
  • Rapidly iterate on design by building quick prototypes
  • Design and execute test plans for your designs

What you’ll bring to the table:

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
  • Experience with Solidworks & PDM
  • Ability to communicate effectively cross functionally
  • Experience working with robotic or mechatronic systems
  • Ability to work independently
  • Experience working with and managing vendors

What we offer:

  • Base pay between $130,000 and $160,000, dependent on your skills, qualifications and experience.
  • Stock options and huge potential for growth.
  • Strong startup (and fun) culture.
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.
  • Flexible vacation and sick leave practices.
  • Paid parental leave.

Robust AI fosters a culture of belonging and a shared commitment to equality and
equity. Having a diverse set of perspectives is key to ensuring AI and robotics serve
the needs of all.
