I’m working with a startup based in San Mateo that’s building next-generation robotic systems and they’re looking for a Mechanical Engineer to lead development of their core hardware. This is a rare opportunity to join a well-funded, early-stage company with a bold vision and serious backing.

The team is designing robotic systems that require novel actuation, transmission, and mechanical design so they’re looking for someone with hands-on experience developing robotic mechanisms, preferably in real-world environments. If you’ve worked on systems involving precision motion, complex assemblies, or high-performance actuation, this could be a perfect fit.

What makes this opportunity especially compelling:

• Significant equity: As an early technical hire, you’ll receive meaningful ownership in a company that’s positioned to move fast.
• Elite backing: The startup is supported by top-tier investors and advised by some of the best minds in robotics and AI.
• Impactful role: You’ll lead mechanical development and work cross-functionally with world-class electrical and software engineers to bring cutting-edge systems to life.

They’re looking for someone with:

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, ideally with robotics, automation, or electromechanical systems.
• Strong understanding of DFM/DFA, CAD proficiency, and experience working closely with vendors and manufacturing partners.
• A passion for building from 0→1 and solving open-ended engineering challenges.

The team is still small, so this is a chance to get in early and play a foundational role in shaping the product and the company.
