Maticrobots Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at Maticrobots leads design of critical product subassemblies and collaborates with hardware, software, and product teams. Owns subsystem requirements, architecture, design, validation, and tooling.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll lead the design of critical subassemblies of our products and work closely with team members from our hardware, software, and product teams to help us realize our vision of full home autonomy.
If you’re passionate about great design and obsessed with getting the details right, we’d love to talk to you about how you can work with us to pioneer innovations in the home robotics space.
Own a critical subsystem end to end: requirements, architecture, detailed design, validation, tooling, and ramp
Turn a vague product goal into a set of engineering requirements and defend the ones that matter when they conflict
Make and own tradeoffs across cost, mass, acoustics, serviceability, manufacturability, and reliability, and explain the reasoning to people outside your discipline
Own the tolerance budget for the full assembly, not just individual stacks
Decide where to spend analysis, where to spend test, and where to just build it
Drive suppliers from tooling kickoff through T1 and T2 to a qualified process, and hold the line on quality when the schedule pushes back
Own the failure investigations in your area, from field returns back to root cause and corrective action
Raise the technical level of the engineers around you through design reviews, mentorship, and the standard you set on your own drawings
What we look for
Evidence of independent technical judgment at subsystem scale:

Qualification

Required

Experience with parts personally designed and in production
Fluency in at least one high volume manufacturing process (injection molding, die casting, stamping, or metal injection molding)
Experience running tolerance stack-ups and choosing datum schemes
Practical application of GD&T on drawings
