Job Summary

Hands-on Mechatronics Engineer (Hardware) responsible for designing and building electromechanical and robotics hardware for autonomous mining vehicles. Own actuation, motion, and powertrain systems; develop robotic mechanisms; produce CAD models and BOMs; qualify components; lead bench and field testing while collaborating with controls and autonomy software teams to enable full vehicle autonomy.

Location: San Francisco

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Hardware, Embedded & Systems Engineering

Key Responsibilities

•Design and integrate actuation hardware for autonomous mining vehicles — drive-by-wire steering, braking, and throttle, electric and electrohydraulic actuators, and the motion and powertrain systems that drive the vehicle
•Develop robotic mechanisms and automation hardware (manipulators, end-effectors, automated tooling, and material-handling systems) for unmanned mine operations
•Produce detailed CAD models, drawings, tolerance stack-ups, and bills of materials ready for fabrication, procurement, and assembly
•Select, size, and qualify actuators, drives, motors, gearboxes, bearings, and e-powertrain components, balancing build-vs-buy decisions against cost, lead time, and reliability
•Lead subsystem bench and rig testing, build and instrument prototypes, and drive reliability growth against MTBF and availability targets
•Collaborate with controls and autonomy-software engineers to integrate actuation, compute, and sensing into a complete vehicle

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 140,000 - 200,000 annually

Equity and Bonus:Equity

Perks:Equity

Key Requirements

•Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Robotics, Electrical, or related engineering discipline
•5-10+ years designing complex electromechanical or robotic systems, ideally including mobile or heavy equipment
•Strong proficiency with 3D CAD
•Hands-on experience with actuation and motion systems - drive-by-wire, electric or electrohydraulic actuators, motors, drives, gearboxes, and their integration
•Working knowledge of design-for-manufacture/assembly and of component selection, qualification, and supplier engagement
