Job description

Senior Mechanical Engineer (Batteries and Distribution)

Our mission is to create advanced robots that can operate in complex environments, reducing human risk in conflict zones and enhancing efficiency in labor-intensive industries.

Is your CV ready If so, and you are confident this is the role for you, make sure to apply asap.

We are on the lookout for extraordinary engineers and scientists to join our team. Your previous experience in robotics isn't a prerequisite — it's your talent and determination that truly count.

We expect that many of our team members will bring diverse perspectives from various industries and fields. We are looking for individuals with a proven record of exceptional ability and a history of creating things that work.

Our Culture

We like to be frank and honest about who we are, so that people can decide for themselves if this is a culture they resonate with. Please read more about our culture here https : / / foundation.bot / culture.

Who should join

  • You like working in person with a team in San Francisco.
  • You deeply believe that this is the most important mission for humanity and needs to happen yesterday.
  • You are highly technical - regardless of the role you are in. We are building technology; you need to understand technology well.
  • You care about aesthetics and design inside out. If it's not the best product ever, it bothers you, and you need to “fix” it.
  • You don't need someone to motivate you; you get things done.

Why are We Hiring for this Role

  • Design and develop mechanical components and enclosures for robotic systems, with emphasis on supporting electronic and electrical hardware.
  • Design mechanical structures for power distribution systems, including cable routing, connectors, and protective housings.
  • Integrate EtherCAT communication and DC power buses within mechanical assemblies, ensuring signal integrity and mechanical protection.
  • Lead the mechanical design of battery enclosures, including thermal management, structural safety, and serviceability.
  • Create detailed CAD models and drawings for prototyping, fabrication, and assembly.
  • Collaborate closely with electrical, software, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless integration.
  • Perform thermal, structural, and environmental analysis of designs.
  • Support assembly, testing, and debugging of robotic platforms.
  • Maintain design documentation and participate in design reviews.
  • What Kind of Person are We looking for

  • Proficient in 3D CAD tools
  • Hands-on experience with power distribution systems and communication interfaces (preferably EtherCAT).
  • Proven experience in battery pack mechanical design, including packaging, safety, and integration.
  • Understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong documentation and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with environmental sealing (IP ratings), vibration isolation, and EMI considerations.
  • Experience with mass mfg processes (casting, injection molding, stamping, etc)
  • Experience in thermal management for electronics.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in mechanical design for electronics or electromechanical systems.
  • We provide market standard benefits (health, vision, dental, 401k, etc.). Join us for the culture and the mission, not for the benefits.

    The annual compensation is expected to be between $100,000 - $1,000,000. Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location.
