About the Role
As a Mechanical Design Engineer at Weave, you’ll design the articulated mechanisms that give our robots many of their physical capabilities, from multi-DOF manipulators, to remotely actuated limbs, to grippers, to articulated necks. You’ll have unusual freedom to optimize the complete electromechanical system rather than treating actuators, electronics, and mechanical structures as fixed constraints.
Responsibilities
- Design articulated robotic mechanisms: Architect and develop multi-DOF joints, manipulators, grippers, linkages, and other actuated assemblies.
- Design for the real world: Engineer mechanisms to withstand repeated contact, impacts, unexpected loading, wear, contamination, and other conditions that arise outside controlled laboratory environments.
- Own designs end-to-end: Take mechanisms from requirements and early concepts through CAD, analysis, prototyping, testing, design iteration, and production release.
- Engineer for performance: Balance torque, speed, stiffness, backlash, efficiency, mass, inertia, thermal performance, durability, and cost to achieve system-level performance targets.
- Analyze and validate designs: Use first-principles calculations, FEA, tolerance analysis, and physical testing to understand loads, failure modes, structural performance, and mechanism life.
- Design at the system level: Work closely with controls, electrical, embedded, and industrial design to optimize mechanisms around the needs of the entire robot—not just the requirements of an individual assembly. You’ll own some of the mechanisms that most directly define what our robots can do.
About the Company
- Weave was founded to build the robots we’d want to have in our own home.
- We believe the next generation of robotics will transform everyday life by enabling people to do more and to reclaim time to spend on what’s important.
- Our robots are already operating in real homes and businesses, giving us the opportunity to rapidly improve from real-world experience.
- With a growing team, strong customer demand, and capital for expansion, we’re entering an exciting stage of growth—and we’re looking for people with exceptional talent and standards to help bring home robotics to millions of households.
