Job Description

Robotics Lab Position

We are looking for a hands-on mechatronics engineer to design and build the mechanisms, electronics, and sensing systems our robots use to interact with the world. You will take hardware from concept and CAD through fabrication, board bring-up, integration, and testing on physical robots.

Based in our Robotics Lab in Emeryville, California, you will work closely with learning and control researchers on manipulators, dexterous hands, and humanoids. The role combines mechanical and electrical engineering with careful physical experimentation: understanding how a design behaves under load, finding the source of a failure, and improving the hardware.

Core Responsibilities
  • Design and build robot mechanisms.

  • Develop robot electronics.

  • Integrate actuation and sensing.

  • Characterize and troubleshoot hardware.

  • Collaborate on robot design.

  • Make hardware reproducible and maintainable.

  • Explore AI-assisted engineering.

Desired Qualifications
  • Electromechanical systems experience.

  • Mechanical design and prototyping.

  • PCB design and bring-up.

  • Actuation and electronics.

  • Programming and firmware.

  • Experimental judgment and collaboration.

  • Robotics hardware experience.

  • Sensing and test experience.

  • Hardware and learning integration.

Why Join Us?

Shape the physical systems through which robots learn and interact with the world. Your work will connect mechanical design, electronics, and sensing directly to the capabilities of manipulators, dexterous hands, and humanoids.

You will work closely with learning and control researchers, using real robot experiments to inform hardware decisions. This is an opportunity to build complete systems and explore how the robot's body and its intelligence can be developed together.
