Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Design and develop mechanical architectures for humanoid robotic hands, including joints, structures, tendon-driven actuation, transmissions, and integrated electronics. Prototype, test, and iterate designs for strength, dexterity, durability, and manufacturability. Conduct stress, fatigue, and failure analyses; select materials based on mechanical and wear properties; and integrate sensors within highly space-constrained mechanisms.

Leads the end-to-end development of an autonomous electric ATV from prototype through production. Defines program strategy, product priorities, technical roadmaps, requirements, performance targets, and manufacturing readiness. Coordinates mechanical, electrical, software, AI, operations, suppliers, and leadership while managing tradeoffs among cost, performance, schedule, risk, and manufacturability. Drives resource allocation, validation, reliability growth, build-versus-buy decisions, and organizational improvements.

Lead mechanical design and ownership for a humanoid robotics platform, spanning actuators, battery, embedded electronics, structures, and harnessing. Drive design for manufacturability, reliability, cost, and performance; mentor engineers; define architecture and collaborate with AI, software, electrical, and manufacturing teams to scale production.

Lead mechanical design of high-performance rotary actuators across concept, prototyping, testing, validation, and production. Optimize torque density, efficiency, packaging, reliability, and manufacturability while collaborating with motor, controls, electronics, and manufacturing teams.

Lead technical evaluations for custom inference chips in robotics, analyze bottlenecks, define architecture, and guide RTL prototyping while delivering reports with strategic recommendations.

Develop, optimize, and maintain embedded systems for humanoid robots, focusing on seamless hardware and software integration and AI-driven control strategies.

Lead the development of embedded systems for autonomous vehicles, integrating sensors, software, and hardware while ensuring safety and performance standards.

Intern will design and iterate custom robotic finger and hand mechanisms using CAD and hands-on fabrication, perform tolerance analysis and basic FEA, address tendon routing and linkage geometry, and validate prototypes. Work includes motion studies, material and contact considerations, and collaborating across mechanical, control, and sensor teams.

Assemble, test, and bring up humanoid robotic subsystems and full systems; interpret drawings and wiring diagrams; troubleshoot electromechanical issues; support prototyping, validation, documentation (BOMs, work instructions), and partner with supply chain and operations.

Design and implement off-road motion and trajectory planning for autonomous crewless ATVs. Integrate waypointing, obstacle avoidance, terrain constraints, and real-world control tuning. Validate algorithms in simulation and field tests, set replanning policies, generate speed profiles, and collaborate on sensor/compute integration for robust, drivable paths.
