Position: Mechatronics Engineer
Location: Austin, TX
Type: Full-Time | On-Site | Hardware Focus

A fast-growing robotics-focused team is looking for a Mechatronics Engineer with a passion for hands-on engineering and next-generation automation. This is a unique opportunity to help design and build intelligent machines capable of navigating and interacting with real-world environments.

You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary group that bridges mechanical engineering, electronics, and intelligent systems to create robust, deployable robotics. If you thrive on iteration, testing, and collaboration, and want your work to have a tangible impact, read on.

Role Responsibilities

• Develop and refine electromechanical systems to support autonomy in mobile and humanoid robots.

• Design, prototype, and test key components—mechanical, electrical, and embedded software—to ensure system integrity and performance.

• Collaborate closely with AI developers to bring machine learning capabilities to physical platforms.

• Execute field testing and performance validation; apply insights to improve durability and reliability.

• Optimize systems for real-world deployment across various terrains and use cases.

• Uphold engineering best practices to meet safety, compliance, and quality standards.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

• Minimum of 3 years of experience building and integrating robotic systems from concept through deployment.

• Expertise in system-level design—combining mechanical, electrical, and software components into cohesive solutions.

• Strong electronics background: PCB layout, motor control, power distribution, and sensor interfacing.

• Skilled in rapid prototyping and iteration, including practical debugging in test environments.

• Proficient in CAD tools (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks) and programming languages such as Python, C++, and ROS.

• Comfortable working in fast-moving, cross-functional teams.

Bonus Points For

• Graduate degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Electrical or Mechatronics Engineering).

• Prior work on autonomous robotics or AI-integrated platforms.

• Familiarity with quick-turn fabrication techniques (e.g., 3D printing, CNC).

• Experience managing power systems, batteries, or high-current devices.

• Understanding of regulatory and safety considerations in robotics.

• Demonstrated interest in pushing the boundaries of autonomous systems.

Compensation

This position offers a wide salary range up to $300,000 per year based on qualifications, experience, and overall alignment with the role’s needs.

Why This Team
