Job description
Atlas is our next-generation humanoid robot, built to perform useful work in dynamic, real-world environments. Achieving that goal requires carefully engineered, heavily integrated, electro-mechanical actuators that are compact, efficient, and reliable under demanding conditions.
We're looking for a
Staff Mechanical Engineer
to contribute to the design and development of our tightly integrated actuator hardware, from electromechanical subsystems to complex assemblies with precision and load-bearing requirements. You will be responsible for delivering well-designed and tested components and subsystems that directly impact the robot's motion, manipulation, and overall performance. You will integrate with the team by working closely with proto-ops working on production and design fixes, learning key sub-systems, and building up to a holistic system understanding and white sheet design concepts.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical design efforts for key subsystems, from early concept through production.
- Support prototyping, bring-up, and issue resolution throughout the product lifecycle.
- Interface directly with the Proto-Ops and repair team to diagnose and resolve mechanical bugs found on the production line and on fielded robots.
- Test and implement mechanical fixes and improvements, owning the process from concept development through validation and formal implementation via Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
- Apply your knowledge to balance performance, manufacturability, and reliability across a range of mechanical requirements—torque, stiffness, mass, thermal behavior, and tolerance stack-ups.
- Use simulation and analysis tools to guide decisions and validate your designs.
- Collaborate closely with electrical and controls engineers to ensure clean integration and testability.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Have strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including statics, dynamics, materials, and heat transfer.
- Are fluent in CAD (we use 3DEXPERIENCE) and are confident in managing complex mechanical assemblies.
- Have experience in failure analysis, root cause investigation, and implementing design changes in a production environment.
- Have a proven ability to manage technical trade-offs and drive timely resolution of high-stakes, real-world problems.
- Are comfortable working hands-on during development, test, and debug
Qualifications
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- A minimum of 4-6 years of related experience or an advanced degree with 2+ years of experience.
- Proven ability to lead designs through the full development cycle from blank sheet or design improvements through validation and implementation.
Nice To Have
- Experience with Jira, JAMA and Smartsheets
- Experience using CATIA 3DX CAD system
- Experience using Arena and/or ENOVIA PLM systems
A brief portfolio of images with short descriptions of recent work is required via either web-link or pdf/ppt
The base pay range for this position is between $116,000 to $150,000 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience. This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting. Boston Dynamics offers a generous Benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401(k), paid time off and a annual bonus structure. Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment.
