- Deep knowledge of materials, surface finishes, coatings, and manufacturing processes relevant to high-spec electromechanical products.
- Experience producing CMF specifications for engineering teams, not just mood boards for stakeholders.
- The confidence to defend a material direction and the rigour to back it up with process, technical trade offs and physical evidence.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity as you'll be defining the function as much as executing within it.
- Familiarity with soft goods or wearable materials is a plus, not a prerequisite.
- Based in London, 5 days a week.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.
- 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).

WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Design, plan, and execute test procedures for actuators, mechanisms, grippers, and robotic hands.
- Build and maintain test fixtures and test rigs for dynamic and endurance testing.
- Tune and calibrate sensors like encoder and control loops in the driver, including current, velocity, and position control, and verify stability conditions.
- Develop subsystem characterization methods and identify key parameters such as torque constant profile, friction, inertia, backlash, stiffness, thermal behavior, and efficiency.
- Design, plan, and execute test procedures for actuators, mechanisms, grippers, and robotic hands.
- Build and maintain test fixtures and test rigs for dynamic and endurance testing.
- Develop automated test systems (hardware + software) to validate motor performance, force output, back drivability, and safety limits.
- Conduct lifecycle, stress, thermal, and environmental tests on components and subsystems.
- Analyze test results, create test reports, and drive design feedback loops with engineering teams.
- Collaborate with design engineers to define testable requirements, tolerances, and performance metrics.
- Support incoming QC, assembly-level verification, and field failure diagnostics.
- Maintain test documentation, protocols, and results databases.
- Work closely with control and firmware teams to evaluate actuator behavior in closed-loop scenarios.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience with robotic hardware, controls, actuator characterization, system commissioning.
- Hands-on experience with motors, actuators, encoders, force/torque sensors, and hardware instrumentation.
- Strong troubleshooting ability and comfort working through ambiguous or unstable hardware problems.
- Experience with calibration, parameter identification, modeling, and mathematical optimization.
- Proficient with tools such as Python (preferred), MATLAB, or C++ for data capture, analysis, and model fitting using OOP(Object Oriented Programming).
- Comfortable with mechanical tools, instrumentation, and prototyping in lab environments.
- Strong understanding of safety testing, failure modes (FMEA), and reliability analysis.
- Excellent documentation, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Familiarity with data acquisition systems (DAQ) and tools such as LabVIEW, Python, or MATLAB.
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with strain-wave gear, planetary gear, or custom robotic actuators.
- Experience with robotic hands, grippers, underactuated mechanisms, or tendon-driven systems.
- Experience with and complete understanding of commercial BLDC drivers.
- Familiarity with low-level control development, parameter identification, or dynamic modeling for electromechanical systems.
- Knowledge of EtherCAT, EtherNET, or related motion control DS402.
- Experience supporting integrated arm or leg bring-up on larger robotic platforms.
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.
