Mechanical Engineer

Shift Robotics
Austin, TX, United States
Full-time

We're making the world a more walkable place. Through intuitive personal mobility, we make walking faster, more efficient, and more accessible to empower people to choose walking over sitting in traffic.

By giving people the ability to Moonwalk, we believe the path forward to a better future is easily reached on your own two feet.

Help us advance the world's fastest shoes by designing, prototyping, and testing reliable and innovative hardware. We want an engineer ready to push the boundaries and one who makes the impossible a reality.

We are looking for a work ethic similar to an engineer in Formula One. You must deliver and iterate quickly. We are not here for mediocrity, we are here to create elegant engineering designs.

Is it demanding? Sure, but it is also rewarding and fun.

We are covered in Wired, CNET, Gizomodo, PCMag and many other tech press.

Responsibilities

  • Create reliable and scalable designs
  • Enjoy creating hardware products from brainstorming to final manufacturing DFM and scaling.
  • FEA simulation of components with particular attention to fatigue, torsion, and bending of both engineering plastics and metals.
  • Design components for manufacturing and assembling (DFM / DFA).
  • Be willing to try new ideas and concessions from a packaging / integration perspective.
  • Keep a pulse on other products in the space and evolving industry best practices in terms of materials, manufacturing methods, and hardware design
  • Troubleshoot problems in manufacturing, assembly, and field use of Moonwalkers.
  • Mechanical modeling and testing of components.
  • Coordinate with software and electrical engineers to ensure that all requirements are met.

Requirements

  • Experience with designing, manufacturing, troubleshooting, and debugging prototype hardware.
  • BS / MS / Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline or equivalent experience.
  • FEA experience with static, dynamic, and thermal simulation (3+ years in Ansys or similar).
  • CAD proficiency (2+ years in Fusion 360 / Solidworks / Inventor, etc.)
  • Background in scalable DFM / DFA products or deep knowledge in casting, injection molding, and machining.
  • Gearbox development experience (sintered metal / cut gears).
  • Project management and planning.
  • Rapid prototyping development (from basic models to 3DP and CNC prototypes).

Nice to have

  • Generative design simulation
  • Consumer electronics design experience, with a deep understanding of system-level architecture and tradeoffs (mechanical, thermal, manufacturability, power, reliability, cost, etc.)
  • GD&T, 2D drawing understanding
  • Experience designing sealed enclosures for electronics and mechanical systems.
  • Understanding of Polyurethane (PU) as it relates to wheels

Benefits

  • Opportunities for participation in our Employee Options programs
  • 401K retirement plan
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance
