About us:
We’re a Series A company building intelligent, endearing robots for consumer use at home. The home autonomy space has been dramatically overlooked when it comes to robotics. While the last decade has seen an influx of companies promising self-driving cars and intelligent humanoids, none are delivering these solutions reliably or affordably. Meanwhile, regular people are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.
At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining what autonomous floor cleaning robots can achieve using AI and computer vision with our flagship product. From there, our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping realistic, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.
About the role:
As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll lead the design of critical subassemblies of our products and work closely with team members from our hardware, software, and product teams to help us realize our vision of full home autonomy.
If you’re passionate about great design and obsessed with getting the details right, we’d love to talk to you about how you can work with us to pioneer innovations in the home robotics space.
What you'll do
Own end-to-end design and manufacturing of critical parts and sub-assemblies
Fabricate prototypes, iterate rapidly, advance your concepts through to high volume production
Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime
Component level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability
Complete and release component designs and documentation, including 2D drawings
Work cross-functionally with hardware, software, supply chain, and product teams to build a cohesive and balanced product
Establish relationships with vendors, suppliers, and CMs in a startup environment
What we look for
Technical degree in mechanical engineering or related field
4+ years of experience in mechanical design or mechanical engineering roles
Proven track record of executing complex mechanical design problems and successfully building physical prototypes
Experience working on products that have shipped
Strong understanding of materials and high-volume manufacturing methods, particularly Injection Molding
Proficiency in using Solidworks. PDM experience is a plus
Knowledge of GD&T, finite element analysis and design for reliability concepts
Experience in NVH, motors, or turbo motors is a plus
Comfort with fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work
High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work
We'd love to hear from you if...
You are genuinely motivated to help those around you
You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones
You love diagnosing complex technical issues
You are excited to do great work
If you got to this point, we hope you're feeling excited about this opportunity at Matic! Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We're eager to meet people who are keen to learn and are passionate about what Matic is building. We want to hear how you can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just the above boxes.
