Mechanical Design Engineer

We're looking for a Mechanical Engineer to be the backbone of how Gradient Robotics turns designs into working hardware. This is intentionally a hands-on ownership role. You'll own a subassembly and its parts from first sketch to validated hardware while partnering closely with the rest of the engineering team on whatever is highest leverage at any given moment. This is a role for someone who loves the full build-test loop: you'll design a part, do the analysis to back it up, make it, test it on the robot, and turn a failed test into a revised part the same week.

You'll touch every stage of your hardware, which means real ownership and room to grow quickly. The impact is significant: the subassemblies you own go straight onto the machines that scale AI infrastructure worldwide, and nothing you design gets handed off halfway.
