Gradientrobotics · San Francisco, CA

Applies on Ashby≈$24-$62/hr

Role overview

What you'll own

  • You'll own a subassembly and its parts from first sketch to validated hardware while partnering closely with the rest of the engineering team on whatever is highest leverage at any given moment.
  • You'll touch every stage of your hardware, which means real ownership and room to grow quickly.
  • Own a subassembly and its parts through design, hand calcs, FEA, fabrication, assembly, and validation
  • Own the supporting analysis: hand calcs, tolerance stack-ups, fastener and material selection, and basic FEA

Requirements and eligibility

  • 1-4 years of mechanical design experience (exceptional new grads with strong project or internship work are welcome to apply)
  • Solid fundamentals: statics, materials, tolerance analysis, fasteners, and basic FEA
  • Experience building things: student teams, products that shipped, prototypes that worked
  • Hands-on machining experience: we have some really cool machines, and as a small team, engineers do need to make their own parts at times

Preferred, not required

  • Experience at a hardware, robotics, aerospace, or automotive company
  • CAM experience (Fusion 360) or comfort programming your own toolpaths
  • Comfort using AI tools to multiply your own output
