  • Employment: Full-time
About Asimov

Project Asimov at Menlo Research is our flagship open-source humanoid robotics initiative. We’re developing every layer—from precision mechanical structures and injection-molded plastics to actuators, sensors, and control hardware—paired with firmware and AI. Our goal is to lower the barrier to advanced robotics for developers and organizations worldwide.

Role Overview

As the founding Mechanical Design Engineer, you will own the conception, CAD modeling, and industrialization of Optimus-style humanoid components. You’ll translate early concepts into robust, production-ready designs, guide prototype builds, and partner with suppliers to ramp tooling and volume manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Concept & CAD Modeling: Develop detailed 3D part and assembly models (plastics, sheet-metal, die-cast, composites) in CATIA or equivalent.
  • Prototype Development: Drive rapid prototyping: oversee 3D printing, CNC machining, and initial fit-check assemblies.
  • Engineering Analysis: Perform tolerance studies, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and kinematic simulations to validate stiffness, strength, and lifetime requirements.
  • 2D Documentation: Create accurate production drawings with GD&T annotations and critical inspection call-outs.
  • Design for Manufacturing: Conduct DFM reviews with contract manufacturers and tooling partners; refine designs for cost, cycle time, and quality.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside electrical, firmware, and validation teams to integrate mechanical systems with sensors, wiring harnesses, and PCBA enclosures.
  • Test Planning & Validation: Define mechanical test protocols, analyze failure modes, and iterate designs based on test data and reliability metrics.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or related field.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design for high-complexity electromechanical products.
  • Expert proficiency in CATIA V5/V6; strong ability to produce both detailed parts and multibody assemblies.
  • Proven track record with plastic injection molding, sheet-metal fabrication, and die-casting processes.
  • Solid understanding of GD&T and the creation of 2D engineering drawings for manufacturing and QA.
  • Experience running FEA simulations (stress, thermal, modal) and interpreting results to inform design decisions.
  • Excellent communication skills to drive alignment with suppliers, cross-disciplinary engineers, and leadership.
Preferred Skills
  • Scripting or automation experience in Python to streamline CAD tasks and data analysis.
  • Familiarity with MATLAB for system-level modeling and tolerance stack-ups.
  • Prior involvement in robotics or wearable systems where mechanical tolerances and ergonomics are critical.
  • Knowledge of plastics engineering: material selection, shrinkage factors, and mechanical property optimization.
  • Hands-on background with rapid-iteration prototyping tools (3D printers, laser cutters, CNC mills).
Why Menlo?

Join a nimble, mission-driven team building the next generation of humanoid robots. You’ll have genuine ownership over design choices and the chance to see your creations move—literally—into the hands of researchers and innovators worldwide. If pioneering open robotics excites you, let’s bring Asimov to life together
