About the role
Senior Mechatronics Engineer
Parametric — San Francisco (in-person, full-time)
About Us
Parametric is building robots to automate physical labor in the real world. We're a small team of staff-level engineers moving fast from prototype to product, and we're hiring our second senior hardware engineer.
About the Role
You'll own the electrical architecture of our mobile manipulation platform: power, wiring, and the buses that tie actuators, sensors, and compute into one working robot. You'll write the bring-up and validation code for the subsystems you build and hand off clean, working interfaces to software engineers.
This is an in-person role in our San Francisco office. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.
What You'll Do
- Own the power system of a mobile robot
- Design electronics layout, harnessing, and cable routing for systems that move
- Integrate actuators, sensors, and compute
- Write bring-up, validation, and diagnostic code for the hardware you build
- Debug electromechanical issues at the bench and on the robot
- Work with vendors as we move toward production
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years in robotics or electromechanical systems, with ownership of electrical architecture on a fielded system
- Experience integrating motor controllers, encoders, and sensors on real hardware
- Ability to write the code that brings hardware up and proves it works
- Proficient at making things: CAD, 3D printing, and general fabrication
- Comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and full ownership at an early-stage startup
The strongest applications show us what you've built. Include a portfolio, photos, or links to your work.
