Staff/Principal Mechanical Engineer, Mechatronics Design

The ideal candidate is an expert in complex mechatronic system design contributing to the delivery of multidisciplinary industrial robotic products. The position includes a need to design, fabricate, assemble, document, and test mechatronic systems that include multi-axis actuation. 

As we are a small startup the role will have a large amount of autonomy and the candidate must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where requirements may shift and decisions need to be made with limited information.

This role is located onsite in our office in Waltham, MA.
