Mechanical Engineer

UCR (Under Control Robotics) builds multipurpose robots to support human workers in the world's toughest jobs—turning dangerous work from a necessity into a choice. Our work demands reliability, robustness, and readiness for the unexpected—on time, every time. We're assembling a mission-driven team focused on delivering real impact in heavy industry, from construction and mining to energy. If you're driven to build rugged, reliable products that solve real-world problems, we'd love to talk.

Position Overview

At UCR, building robots is a team sport. As a mechanical engineer, you'll take ownership and lead the development of advanced electro-mechanical systems powering multipurpose humanoid robots in the real world. You'll design, build, document, and maintain state of the art hardware systems that enable robots to move freely across diverse environments and perform useful manipulation tasks.

Responsibilities

• Drive design and development of mechanical systems across the robot
• Use your technical knowledge to execute on structural sizing, mechanism design, hardware fabrication, and testing to deliver results on projects
• Partner with peer design owners such as interfacing systems and or avionics and structures to rapidly deliver integrated systems and subsystems on the robots
• Conduct design reviews with stakeholders and customers
• Manage on-site integration teams and implement integration feedback into the design
• Diagnose and operate robot mechanisms during development and deployed operations
• Perform engineering hand calculations and analysis to size structures and mechanisms
• Create detailed models and engineering prints in SolidWorks
• Build and prototype systems in the lab
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary engineering teams to drive software-hardware co-design
• Design and build test equipment for both subsystem and complete system tests
