Lead Robotics Mechanical Design and Dynamics Engineer

As the Founding Lead Mechanical Design and Dynamics Engineer at 10xConstruction.ai, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of construction robotics. You will lead the development of the mechanical systems for a cutting-edge mobile manipulator platform, architecting and implementing robotic solutions optimized for dynamic stability, power tool integration, and the challenges of real-world construction environments. This is a founding team role, offering the opportunity to not only build a revolutionary product but also to help build an amazing organization from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities :

• Leadership & Management :
• Lead and mentor a team of mechanical engineers, providing technical guidance and support
• Manage project timelines, allocate resources effectively, and ensure on-time delivery of project milestones
• Foster a collaborative and innovative team environment
• Mechanical Design & Development :
• Architect and design the mechanical systems of the mobile manipulator platform, with a focus on stability, maneuverability, and robustness
• Optimize the design for integration with various power tools and end-effectors
• Conduct reach, load, and stability analysis to ensure safe and efficient operation in construction environments
• Select and integrate appropriate sensors, actuators, and other components
• Develop and maintain comprehensive design documentation
• Prototyping & Fabrication :
• Lead the development and execution of prototyping strategies, utilizing a variety of techniques and materials, including aluminum extrusions, 3D printing, and laser cutting
• Oversee the establishment and operation of a dedicated hardware lab for prototyping and testing
• Guide the team in the use of power tools (angle grinders, cutters, drills, etc.) for fabrication and integration
• Manufacturing & Assembly :
• Oversee the manufacturing, quality control, and assembly of the mobile manipulator platform
• Collaborate with vendors and manufacturers to source components and ensure timely delivery
• Implement quality control procedures to ensure high reliability and performance
• Collaboration & Integration :
• Work closely with the controls engineering team to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software
• Collaborate with the software team to generate accurate URDF files (including kinematics, collision zones, and inertial calculations) for realistic simulations
• Coordinate with other teams (e.g., software, perception) to ensure the successful deployment of the robot in construction settings
• Safety & Compliance :
• Ensure compliance with all relevant mechanical safety standards and regulations
• Implement safety features and protocols to mitigate risks in a construction environment
