Description

As the Founding Lead Mechanical Design and Dynamics Engineer at 10xConstruction.ai, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of construction robotics. You will lead the development of the mechanical systems for a cutting-edge mobile manipulator platform, architecting and implementing robotic solutions optimized for dynamic stability, power tool integration, and the challenges of real-world construction environments. This is a founding team role, offering the opportunity to not only build a revolutionary product but also to help build an amazing organization from the ground up. Key Responsibilities: Leadership & Management: Lead and mentor a team of mechanical engineers, providing technical guidance and support. Manage project timelines, allocate resources effectively, and ensure on-time delivery of project milestones. Foster a collaborative and innovative team environment. Mechanical Design & Development: Architect and design the mechanical systems of the mobile manipulator platform, with a focus on stability, maneuverability, and robustness. Optimize the design for integration with various power tools and end-effectors. Conduct reach, load, and stability analysis to ensure safe and efficient operation in construction environments. Select and integrate appropriate sensors, actuators, and other components. Develop and maintain comprehensive design documentation. Prototyping & Fabrication: Lead the development and execution of prototyping strategies, utilizing a variety of techniques and materials, including aluminum extrusions, 3D printing, and laser cutting. Oversee the establishment and operation of a dedicated hardware lab for prototyping and testing. Guide the team in the use of power tools (angle grinders, cutters, drills, etc.) for fabrication and integration. Manufacturing & Assembly: Oversee the manufacturing, quality control, and assembly of the mobile manipulator platform. Collaborate with vendors and manufacturers to source components and ensure timely delivery. Implement quality control procedures to ensure high reliability and performance. Collaboration & Integration: Work closely with the controls engineering team to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software. Collaborate with the software team to generate accurate URDF files (including kinematics, collision zones, and inertial calculations) for realistic simulations. Coordinate with other teams (e.g., software, perception) to ensure the successful deployment of the robot in construction settings. Safety & Compliance: Ensure compliance with all relevant mechanical safety standards and regulations. Implement safety features and protocols to mitigate risks in a construction environment. Qualifications and Skills: Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. 10+ years of experience in the design and development of robotic systems, with a focus on mobile manipulation or similar technologies. Proven experience in leading and managing engineering teams. Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.), FEA tools, and GD&T. Deep understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and control systems. Experience with manufacturing processes, material selection, and quality control. Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills. Why Join Us: Gain experience in a dynamic startup environment at the forefront of robotics innovation. Contribute to the development of technology that will revolutionize the construction industry. Work alongside a talented and passionate team committed to making a real-world impact. Lead the development of groundbreaking robotic technology with the potential to transform the construction industry. Be a key member of the founding team, shaping not just the product but the company itself. Work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your contributions will have a direct impact. Preferences: Candidates with a design portfolio showcasing relevant projects. Candidates with patents or publications in the field of robotics or construction automation. Candidates who have previously lead similar teams Robotics CAD DFMEA Robot Kinematics Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
