About the company Our client builds autonomous robots for physical data center operations. Its in-house hardware supports production infrastructure work including GPU repairs, cabling, SSD replacements, and rack buildouts. The team is looking for a hands-on mechanical engineer who wants to take complex robotic systems from concept through real-world prototypes. The role We are hiring a Mechanical Design Engineer to own critical robotic subsystems from early concepts through physical prototypes and production-ready designs. You will work across materials, tolerances, manufacturing, and integration, helping create reliable hardware for demanding real-world environments. What you'll do • Own mechanical subsystems from concept through prototype, test, iteration, and production. • Select materials, define tolerances, and design for manufacturability. • Create and refine parts, assemblies, and mechanisms using CAD. • Build and test prototypes with 3D printing, CNC machining, and hands-on shop tools. • Integrate motors, sensors, electronics, and actuators into robotic arms and mobile bases. • Collaborate closely with the hardware team to solve practical engineering problems in deployed sy
