Mechanical Engineer – Farm Robotics

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.
