Mechanical Design Engineer, Mechanisms

Weave was founded to build the robots we’d want to have in our own home.

We believe the next generation of robotics will transform everyday life by enabling people to do more and to reclaim time to spend on what’s important.

We also believe robots are in a sense like any other product: to matter, they have to ship.

Our robots are already operating in real homes and businesses, giving us the opportunity to rapidly improve from real-world experience.

With a growing team, strong customer demand, and capital for expansion, we’re entering an exciting stage of growth—and we’re looking for people with exceptional talent and standards to help bring home robotics to millions of households.

Weave is building and deploying some of the first bimanual robots to operate in customer homes.

Designing mechanisms for the home presents a demanding optimization problem: balancing capability, size, weight, safety, cost, and durability across an enormous range of tasks and operating conditions.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer at Weave, you’ll design the articulated mechanisms that give our robots many of their physical capabilities, from multi-DOF manipulators, to remotely actuated limbs, to grippers, to articulated necks.

Because we vertically integrate much of our robot, you’ll have unusual freedom to optimize the complete electromechanical system rather than treating actuators, electronics, and mechanical structures as fixed constraints.

• Design articulated robotic mechanisms: Architect and develop multi-DOF joints, manipulators, grippers, linkages, and other actuated assemblies.
• Design for the real world: Engineer mechanisms to withstand repeated contact, impacts, unexpected loading, wear, contamination, and other conditions that arise outside controlled laboratory environments.
• Own designs end-to-end: Take mechanisms from requirements and early concepts through CAD, analysis, prototyping, testing, design iteration, and production release.
