Senior Mechanical Engineer- Atlas

If you are a structural design expert with a passion for seeing your parts on high impact products, you will have an exciting opportunity to contribute significantly to transitioning our world class electric humanoid robot from R&D to production.

As a Staff Mechanical Engineer with a focus in Product Structures on the Atlas Structures and Mechanisms team, you will leverage your creativity and knowledge of various product minded fabrication processes to maximize structural performance per dollar across the entire robot.

Navigating ambiguity, creative thinking, attention to detail, technical excellence, efficient communication, and a team first collaborative mindset are key superpowers that will lead to success.

Every day you will strategize with a multidisciplinary team on the most efficient structural approach to achieving world class packaging efficiency while looking for clever ways to keep part cost low with production in mind.

Your diverse knowledge of product oriented fabrication processes such as casting, forging, stamping, sheet metal, hydroforming, injection molding, etc.

will be essential in selecting the optimal process for each component that you design.

How you will make an impact :

Maximizing structural performance per dollar to bring Atlas from prototype to product

Select the optimal production process that balances performance and cost for a diverse set of part types and design each component expertly for the selected process

Take high level product requirements and distill into pragmatic component level specifications

Develop new concepts and perform analysis on designs while considering constraints from multiple disciplines with a product-oriented focus

Create CAD models, drawings, specifications, assembly documentation, and test plans for parts and assemblies

Troubleshoot issues, determine root causes, design and implement corrective and preventative solutions

Manage and work with outside vendors for components and assemblies that require outsourcing

Expertly manage more than one project concurrently while still meeting deadlines

High level of technical communication proficiency

Adapt quickly to changing project needs with a team first mindset

Desired Experience :

Any of the experience listed below would be applicable in this role, it is not expected that candidates would possess all of these qualifications

BSME and 5+ years of relevant experience or MSME with 3+ years of experience

2+ years of experience in a professional and product-driven environment

Extensive experience designing moderate to high complexity mechanical structures in 2 or more production focused fabrication methods such as casting, forging, stamping, sheet metal, hydroforming, injection molding, etc. (5+ parts)

Advanced CAD user (Catia, NX, Solidworks, etc.), including FEA and topology optimization

A working knowledge of ASME drafting standards including GD&T, (Y14.5-2018)

Transitioning early designs to products NPI, EVT, DVT

Soft skills : creative and team first thinking, excellent attention to detail, strong technical communication
