Original job description

About Braid Robotics Braid is on a mission to make AI learn as fast as humans. We build smart models that learn from very little data, and are putting them to work in unstructured environments where data is scarce.

The opportunity We are pioneering robot learning in unstructured environments. Designing the right hardware is crucial for the success of automation, and we are looking for exceptionally talented mechanical engineers to play key roles in our team. Hardware is a first-class citizen at Braid. The opportunity is to design unique interfaces, end effectors, and perception solutions to enable the automation of tasks in environments as diverse as construction sites, oil and gas facilities, and shipyards. Who you are You love integrated systems and are passionate about designing mechanisms and interfaces. If this wasn't a job, you would be designing as a hobby. You do not hesitate to go on the field to understand the problem at hand, see robots in action, and improve their design. You are undaunted by startup life and are eager to collaborate in a small, high-impact team. You can't wait to learn more about AI and are excited to learn from the best in the field. And get paid doing so! What you'll do

Design mechanisms, interfaces, and end effectors for our robots
ML engineers are sometimes your customers: work closely with them on the design
Design for performance and reliability
Take charge of and operate 3D printers and fabrication machines
Lead the relationship with suppliers of components and with manufacturers

Preferred qualifications

BS, MS, or PhD in Robotics or related field
6+ years experience in mechanical design
Experience designing, fabricating and supporting hardware that shipped commercially
Onshape, Solidworks

Why join Braid? If you're early in your career or unfamiliar with AI, you will learn tremendously about developing AI for robotics and building a robotics business. If you are a battle-hardened operator, help us accelerate the liberation of humanity from menial labor. Platinum benefits We offer the best health insurance money can buy - as a matter of principle:

platinum plan for health, vision and dental
0 deductible
covered 100%
for you and your family

We also have

Unlimited PTO
Allowances for transportation and cell phone usage

Immigration sponsorship Braid welcomes applications from exceptional candidates around the world. We are able to sponsor employment visas for qualified candidates and support long-term immigration pathways, including permanent residency (Green Card), where appropriate. In the office As a startup, the early employees are those who set the culture. That's why we require everyone to work in the same office to build a strong culture of excellence, collaboration, and fearless learning. Equal opportunity employer Braid is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can do their best work.
