Mechanical Engineer, Robotics

About Us

We exist to make humanity more free. Technology has historically given people more time for the things they want to do, instead of things they have to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built—but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them—with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

How We Operate

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

Responsibilities

• Engineer the mechanical side of data center robotics: end effectors, docking, and interfaces between robots and plant.
• Design the physical integration: how robots handle, mate with, and service equipment designed for humans.
• Prototype fast and test hard: concepts to instrumented trials in weeks.
• Productionize what works: DFM, reliability, and spares for hardware that runs unattended.

Requirements

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've designed mechanical systems for robotics, automation, or mechatronics products.
• You've taken hardware from prototype through reliability testing.
• You design interfaces and tolerances that survive the real world.
• You test to failure on purpose and instrument everything.
• You work in fast loops with controls and software.

Preferred Qualifications

• End effector and gripper design.
• GD&T depth.
• DFM at low volume.
• Server and rack hardware familiarity.
