About Us
We are building intelligent, lightweight, and affordable autonomous robots for Indian farms, starting with weed-removal and orchard-maintenance robots. Our vision is to bring reliable automation to small and mid-sized farms through innovation in robotics, AI, and design simplicity.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to design, prototype, and optimize the mechanical systems of our farm robots. You will work closely with embedded, AI, and control engineers to develop robust, field-ready mechanical designs that can withstand the harsh Indian agricultural environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and prototype mechanical systems, chassis, suspension, and mounting assemblies for small autonomous robots.
- Work on mechanical CAD modeling (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / Onshape) for components and assemblies.
- Develop and test drive systems, linkages, and cutting or weeding mechanisms.
- Perform structural and thermal analysis using simulation tools (FEA, CFD).
- Select suitable motors, actuators, gearboxes, and wheels for mobility and payload requirements.
- Collaborate with electronics and AI teams for sensor placement, enclosures, and integration.
- Source and manage fabrication from vendors or local workshops (metal, plastic, 3D printing, CNC).
- Conduct field testing, iterate designs, and ensure reliability in muddy, wet, and uneven terrain.
- Document mechanical design standards and build processes for future scaling.
