Mission

Help design, build and integrate the mechanical backbone of our construction robots. From CAD and brackets to drivetrains, frames and structural parts, you'll turn concepts into real, robust hardware — and help get it running and holding up on the bench and on real construction sites. Hands-on, cross-disciplinary, and right where the robots come together.

Responsibilities & Outcomes

• Design mechanical parts and assemblies in CAD (mounts, brackets, frames, drivetrain, enclosures).
• Build and fabricate parts — 3D printing, machining, sheet metal, assembly — and iterate quickly.
• Assemble and integrate mechanical systems into working robots, making sure mechanics and electronics fit together.
• Get robots running on the bench and support field tests on real construction sites (setup, quick fixes, mechanical troubleshooting).
• Design for the real world: parts that survive loads, vibration, dust and rough site conditions.
• Feed what you learn in the field back to the engineering team.

Cultural Competencies

• Hands-on mentality — happy to design, build, and get your hands dirty.
• Bridges design and reality: turns CAD into parts that actually work.
• Ownership-driven and eager to grow into more responsibility.
• Calm and pragmatic when things break.
• Passion for robotics and real-world impact.

Requirements

• Enrolled student, ideally in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on and handy — real experience designing in CAD and actually building/assembling parts (not simulation only).
• Comfortable with tools and fabrication (3D printing, machining, welding, assembly — any subset is great).
• Motivated to work on-site in real conditions (dust, weather, construction reality).
