About the company Our client is a robotics company building hardware systems for demanding real-world applications, including defense manufacturing. A small team is moving rapidly from prototypes to customer deployments with meaningful commercial traction. The role / why it matters As a Staff Hardware Engineer focused on Robotics Systems and Deployments, you will own technical direction and delivery from concept to working customer installations. You will combine hands-on robotics engineering with leadership and have a path toward building and leading a hardware team. What you'll do • Drive rapid prototyping and build-test cycles for robotic systems. • Evaluate and integrate commercial robotic arms, sensors, grippers and tooling. • Own hardware programs through requirements, testing, manufacturing and customer deployment. • Set engineering standards, lead design reviews and mentor mechanical engineers. • Help recruit a hardware team as customer installations scale. Requirements What we're looking for • 6-12 years of relevant engineering experience; 8-10 years is preferred. • A robotics engineering background with hands-on hardware and deployment experience, beyond purely mechanical
