Mechanical Engineer (On-site)

At Standard Bots were revolutionizing real-world automation by making robotic systems accessible to everyone. Our AI-powered platform enables robots to tackle unprecedented challenges through an intuitive instruction interface bringing the power of software automation to physical spaces.

Were building Bolt a mobile manipulation platform: an autonomous mobile base carrying our robot arms. Were hiring two Mechanical Engineers to join the Bolt team early in their careers and grow with the product. One will work on the upper body the structures mounts and covers that carry the arms sensors and payload on the base. One will support the electrical team and proof-of-concept builds brackets enclosures harness routing test fixtures and the quick-turn parts that keep prototypes moving. Youll design in SolidWorks build what you design and test it on real robots.

This is an on-site role based at our new Boston-area office where Bolt is designed built and tested with some flexibility on days in the office once youre up to speed. Youll work next to the build area electronics lab and test floor. Relocation assistance is available.

• Design parts and assemblies in SolidWorks sheet metal machined parts 3D prints and off-the-shelf hardware and release drawings with correct tolerances and callouts

• Build and test prototypes: order parts assemble instrument run tests and document results

• Do first-pass engineering analysis (loads stress deflection fastener sizing) and know when to ask for a deeper look

• Support cross-functional builds with EE software and test fixtures mounts cable routing quick fixes on the floor

• Keep BOMs drawings and PDM records accurate through fast design iterations

• Learn the product deeply: assemble robots tear them down and find out what breaks

Youre early in your career youve built real hardware (robotics team FSAE rocketry research lab internships or a first job) and you want to work on robots you can watch move. Youd rather be in the shop than in a meeting you ask good questions and you finish what you start. On-site presence matters here: the fastest way to learn this job is standing next to the robot.

• Experience: Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Mechatronics or related and 03 years of hands-on hardware experience (internships and project teams count)

• Fundamentals: Solid grasp of statics strength of materials materials selection and GD&T basics

• Tool Fluency: Proficient in SolidWorks parts assemblies and drawings; comfortable with a 3D printer basic machine tools and hand tools

• Hands-on: Youve assembled tested and debugged something physical and can show it

• Clarity of Communication: You write clear test notes and design summaries and ask for help early

• Growth Optimism: Excited by new domains and challenges and eager to pick up new context fast

• Excelling in Ambitious Environments: You thrive in a fast-moving team with changing requirements and tight timelines

• Robotics AMR/AGV or vehicle project experience

• Basic electrical skills reading schematics wiring crimping soldering

• Python or scripting for test data

• Sheet metal and machining DFM exposure

The base salary range for this role is $95000 to $125000 depending on experience. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots.
