Robotics Hardware Engineer

As a robotics hardware engineer you'll be designing and building the mechanical systems behind Ixian's robots. You will take extreme ownership of your hardware, from design requirements, to concept design, to building prototypes, designing test suites, designing for manufacturing, and ensuring reliable field performance. The scope of work will span mechanism design, actuation, structural component design, electronics integration, and field deployment.

You will be the responsible engineer for all of the hardware you produce. Every engineering decision you make must be reasoned from physics first principles and you must be able to communicate this reasoning effectively to the team. A strong analytical background is required, but your approach to problem solving must be pragmatic, grounded, and rapid. When failures occur or requirements change, you must be able to iterate or pivot rapidly.
