Rhoda AI · Mountain View, CA · 3 days ago
On-siteEngineering$175k–$280k/yrFull-time

What You'll Do

  • Design the structural architecture of the hand — palm, fingers, linkages, and pivots
  • Own design-for-manufacturing of structural parts, including die-cast and injection-molded components, from prototype through production
  • Integrate thermal paths with the actuation system so dense actuator packages stay within limits
  • Engineer for robustness: the hand must tolerate impacts, drops, and sustained real-world abuse
  • Hold the precision required for fine motor control and repeatable grasping
  • Design lightweight, body-safe structures for wearable devices

What You Bring

  • Experience with die-cast and injection-mold part design, including DFM for volume production
  • Thermal design experience, especially integrating heat paths with actuators in dense packages
  • Strong background in linkage, pivot, and small-mechanism design
  • Proven ability to design robust systems that tolerate impact and sustained abuse
  • Ability to design for precision where it matters, enabling fine motor control and reliable grasping
