Job Summary
Atlas is our next-generation humanoid robot built to perform useful work in dynamic real-world environments. Achieving that goal requires carefully engineered heavily integrated electro-mechanical actuators that are compact efficient and reliable under demanding conditions.
Were looking for a Staff Mechanical Engineer to contribute to the design and development of our tightly integrated actuator hardware from electromechanical subsystems to complex assemblies with precision and load-bearing requirements. You will be responsible for delivering well-designed and tested components and subsystems that directly impact the robots motion manipulation and overall performance. You will integrate with the team by working closely with proto-ops working on production and design fixes learning key sub-systems and building up to a holistic system understanding and white sheet design concepts.
Responsibilities:
Lead mechanical design efforts for key subsystems from early concept through production.
Support prototyping bring-up and issue resolution throughout the product lifecycle.
Interface directly with the Proto-Ops and repair team to diagnose and resolve mechanical bugs found on the production line and on fielded robots.
Test and implement mechanical fixes and improvements owning the process from concept development through validation and formal implementation via Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
Apply your knowledge to balance performance manufacturability and reliability across a range of mechanical requirementstorque stiffness mass thermal behavior and tolerance stack-ups.
Use simulation and analysis tools to guide decisions and validate your designs.
Collaborate closely with electrical and controls engineers to ensure clean integration and testability.
Youre a good fit if you:
Have strong mechanical engineering fundamentals including statics dynamics materials and heat transfer.
Are fluent in CAD (we use 3DEXPERIENCE) and are confident in managing complex mechanical assemblies.
Have experience in failure analysis root cause investigation and implementing design changes in a production environment.
Have a proven ability to manage technical trade-offs and drive timely resolution of high-stakes real-world problems.
Are comfortable working hands-on during development test and debug
Qualifications:
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
A minimum of 4-6 years of related experience or an advanced degree with 2 years of experience.
Proven ability to lead designs through the full development cycle from blank sheet or design improvements through validation and implementation.
Nice to have:
Experience with Jira JAMA and Smartsheets
Experience using CATIA 3DX CAD system
Experience using Arena and/or ENOVIA PLM systems
A brief portfolio of images with short descriptions of recent work is required via either web-link or pdf/ppt
The base pay range for this position is between $116000 to $150000 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including but not limited to internal equity job related knowledge skills and experience. This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting. Boston Dynamics offers a generous Benefits package including medical dental vision 401(k) paid time off and a annual bonus structure. Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment.
