Job Description

Job Description

Join a mission-driven startup building robotic systems to solve one of the world’s fastest-growing environmental challenges: electronic waste.

This hands-on role sits at the intersection of automation, robotics, and mechanical design. You'll develop advanced tooling systems—such as end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), custom fixtures, and precision electromechanical components—to enable robotic platforms to autonomously disassemble complex electronics like laptops, servers, and battery packs.

If you enjoy building from scratch, iterating quickly, and working across disciplines to create real-world, scalable impact, this is an opportunity to directly shape the future of sustainable electronics manufacturing.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and prototype robotic tooling systems for tasks such as gripping, unscrewing, cutting, and material separation
  • Create modular, scalable tools adaptable to different devices and product types
  • Translate hardware process needs into robust mechanical designs
  • Collaborate closely with robotics, controls, software, and electrical teams to ensure seamless integration
  • Conduct detailed analyses (tolerancing, FEA, DFM) to ensure durability and precision
  • Drive the full product lifecycle—from CAD and prototyping to in-field deployment and iteration
  • Potential to mentor others and contribute to a growing engineering team

What We’re Looking For

  • 5–7 years of hands-on, professional mechanical engineering experience (non-internship)
  • Deep background in mechanical design, particularly for automation or robotics
  • Strong CAD skills (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or similar)
  • Experience with EOAT or robotic tooling—especially gripping, fastening, or cutting tools
  • Knowledge of rapid prototyping and manufacturing methods (e.g., CNC, 3D printing, sheet metal)
  • Comfortable working in-person on hardware in a fast-paced R&D environment
  • Strong cross-functional communication and debugging skills
  • Highly detail-oriented and motivated to deliver production-grade solutions

The Work Environment

  • 100% in-person in a well-equipped R&D and prototyping space in Northern Virginia
  • Access to CNC equipment, 3D printers, and robotics platforms
  • Small, mission-focused team solving complex challenges with a hands-on approach
  • Backed by revenue and mission-aligned investors, the company is profitable and focused on sustainable, long-term impact

If you're looking to apply your mechanical expertise to real systems with real-world environmental impact—and you thrive in collaborative, hands-on environments—we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now to help build the next generation of circular electronics technology.
