Summary:At Reality Labs Research our goal is to develop the next generation of hardware systems.
We are looking for a Principal Mechatronics Engineer whose technical specialty is mechanical systems to lead the system architecture, detailed design, integration, and measured characterization of complex robotic hardware.The ideal candidate combines deep first-principles mechanical engineering with working fluency at the interfaces to actuation, sensing, electronics, firmware, controls, calibration, thermal engineering, safety, and validation.
They will own the system implementation and contribute the data and interfaces needed by adjacent teams.Required Skills:Mechatronics Engineer, Robotics (Mechanical) Responsibilities:Lead the architecture and detailed design of robotic systems from early concepts through integrated prototypes, repeatable builds, and technology transferDesign mechanisms, joints, transmissions, structures, bearings, routing, and precision assemblies, including actuator and sensor integrationTranslate research goals into measurable requirements and make tradeoffs across force, speed, range, accuracy, mass, thermal performance, durability, safety, and serviceabilityModel and measure kinematics, loads, inertia, compliance, friction, backlash, and vibration, and use the results to improve hardwareBuild instrumented prototypes and run experiments that explain integrated-system failures and validate design decisionsDefine the mechanical data and interfaces needed by controls, electrical, firmware, simulation, thermal, safety, and validation partnersSet technical direction across programs, resolve cross-organizational decisions under ambiguity, mentor other engineers, and guide suppliers and research partners toward manufacturable, serviceable, and repeatable hardwareMinimum Qualifications:Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field,
