Mechanical Engineer – Robotics & Mechatronic Systems

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada

Company: Early-stage humanoid robotics company

An early-stage company developing next-generation humanoid robotic systems is looking for a Mechanical Engineer to design and build high-performance robotic hardware.

This role will focus on developing high-reliability mechanical and mechatronic subsystems, taking designs from concept → CAD → prototype → test → production as part of a highly collaborative robotics engineering team.

The Role

You will be responsible for designing robotic mechanical systems and assemblies that form part of a complex humanoid platform.

Working closely with controls, electronics, and robotics software engineers, you will play a key role in developing hardware that is robust, manufacturable, and ready for real-world deployment.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop robotic mechanical and mechatronic subsystems
• Own hardware development from concept → CAD → prototype → testing → production
• Design actuation systems, mechanisms, structural components, and assemblies
• Perform mechanical modelling, analysis, and design optimisation
• Build and evaluate hardware prototypes
• Support system integration and hardware testing
• Work closely with controls, electrical, and robotics software teams
• Improve designs for reliability, manufacturability, and performance

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or similar
• Experience designing robotic or electromechanical systems
• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Creo, or similar)
• Experience taking hardware from concept through prototype and production
• Experience designing robot mechanisms, actuators, linkages, or robotic assemblies
• Experience working with mechatronic systems integrating motors, sensors, and electronics
• Robotics industry experience (robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, or similar)

Nice to Have

• Experience working on humanoid robots or articulated robotic systems
• Experience designing actuation systems or drivetrain mechanisms
• Experience in early-stage robotics or fast-paced hardware environments
• Experience with rapid prototyping and hardware iteration

Why Join

• Work on cutting-edge humanoid robotics
• Join an early-stage company where you can shape the product
• Opportunity to work across the full robotics hardware development lifecycle
• Collaborate with a highly technical team building complex robotic systems
