Mechanical Engineer, Agility Robotics

• 0 - 3 years of mechanical design experience
• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent is a minimum requirement
• Demonstrable experience in designing and building mechanisms, assemblies and electronics packaging, ideally in robotics
• Knowledge of various types of motors, encoders, sensors, power transmission, and drive-train-related components such as gears, splines, lead screws, linear guides, harmonic drive actuators, etc
• Experience prototyping, characterising, testing and optimizing actuators for torque, stiffness, backlash, efficiency and cost
• Experience in mechanical analysis including modeling, tolerance stacks, static and dynamic analysis, FEA and thermal analysis
• Expert CAD user and familiarity with either Solidworks, Siemens NX, Creo or Onshape
• Ideal candidates will have a portfolio showing their prior work and projects
• Ability to be on-site at Agility’s design facility as needed (minimum 3 days per week)

Desirable

• We are designing the next generation of Digit Humanoid Robot for commercial scale
• Highly reliable and robust designs are critical to successful deployment of our robots in large quantities
• Digit works in demanding environments, performing highly repetitive and heavily loaded tasks
• The Mechanical Engineer will work closely with other mechanical engineers and cross functional teams to develop the next generation Digit
• This role will own multiple mechanical and electro-mechanical parts/assemblies and will be responsible for the design, prototyping, and DFx for those parts
• Own the 3D and 2D design of electromechanical components and subassemblies, including prototyping of parts and subsystems
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, industrial design, software, test, and manufacturing) to define requirements and develop design concepts
• Perform engineering analyses to validate design decisions, including supporting structural and thermal analyses
• Present and participate in cross-functional design reviews of parts and subsystems
• Support root cause investigations and implement improvements to enhance Digit robustness
• Contribute to the development and documentation of mechanical engineering processes
• Track progress and document design work using Jira and Confluence
• Deliver quality results within established schedules, budgets, and priorities
• Create and maintain comprehensive design documentation
• Travel requirement (25% travel to Salem, Oregon)
