🤖 Mechanical Design Engineer – Humanoid Robotics

At Proception, we are engineering the next generation of highly dexterous humanoid manipulators. Our mission is to bring machines closer to human capability by merging innovative mechanical design, sensor integration, and intelligent control. We're looking for a full-time Mechanical Design Engineer to lead structural and actuation design for our humanoid upper body and hand systems. You'll work at the frontier of mechanical performance, electromechanical integration, and rapid prototyping to enable breakthrough physical intelligence. Architect and design high-DOF robotic arms and hands for dynamic manipulation Build geartrains, compliant mechanisms, and tendon systems that outperform current state-of-the-art Drive simulation, analysis, prototyping, and testing in a no-silos, build-it-yourself workflow Iterate hardware based on test data, field failure, or system noise—fast Collaborate tightly with controls, perception, and firmware teams to deliver integrated, elegant robots Write clear, transferable documentation for scaling what works—and killing what doesn't Design and test mechanical systems for humanoids, exoskeletons, prosthetics, soft robots, or tendon drives Validate mechanical systems through testing and analysis Iterate on mechanical designs based on test data and feedback
