Mechanical Design Engineer - Robotic Hand

Location: Canada, Vancouver, BC Workplace: OnSite Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further. ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design and develop advanced humanoid robots. The ideal candidate will have expertise in mechanical design, system integration, and GD&T based on ASME Y14.5, along with experience in optimizing robotic systems for performance and manufacturability. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Develop components for humanoid robots (e.g., frames, actuators, joints) using CAD software, applying GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5) to ensure precision and manufacturability. - Design robotic linkages and mechanisms with a focus on efficient motion and performance optimization. - Choose materials and manufacturing methods that balance strength, weight, and cost, ensuring feasibility and reliability. - Lead the prototyping phase, utilizing tools like 3D printing and CNC machining to validate designs. - Work with electrical engineers and software developers to integrate mechanical components into robotic systems. - Ensure designs meet safety standards, conducting risk assessments and applying necessary safety features. - Perform mechanical testing to verify design performance and durability. - Produce detailed technical documentation, including drawings, specifications, and BOMs, adhering to GD&T principles. - Work closely with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals. WE’RE LOOKING FOR - Strong background in mechanical design, statics, dynamics, and material science. - Skilled in CAD tools (SolidWorks), with the ability to apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to designs. - Familiarity with manufacturing methods like CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding. - Hands-on experience building and testing prototypes. - Understanding of safety standards (e.g., ISO 10218) and risk assessment. - Strong analytical skills to tackle complex engineering challenges. - Clear verbal and written communication for effective teamwork.   WHAT WE OFFER - Comprehensive extended health benefits starting on your first day, including fully paid medical and dental, virtual care, employee and family assistance, and worldwide emergency medical support. - Meaningful time off to rest and recharge: 23 days of annual leave (accrued), 15 days of paid sick leave, and paid company holidays. - Paid end-of-year shutdown: annual company-wide holiday closure spanning Christmas through New Year’s Day. - Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale. - Free daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks in‑office. - Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics. - Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.   For this role in Vancouver, the expected base salary range is $110,000 – $150,000 CAD per year; your placement in that range depends on how your experience maps to our internal leveling.
