Mechatronics Engineer
Skip, San Francisco
What you will do
- Understand every element of our power train; being the go-to person for troubleshooting
- Guide design and development decisions for future iterations of the product, and future systems; including off-the-shelf BLDCs, custom PMSM and axial flux motors, cycloid gearboxes, series elastic actuators, and battery and motor specifications.
- Own the testing protocol to validate performance of the mechatronics at volumes and standards relevant to consumer products (and work with our Test Engineer to execute)
- Characterize and model our actuators for open-loop and closed-loop torque control. Create thermal models and evaluate the thermal limits of the actuator.
- Own the process of productising our novel actuation systems as standalone products and components of a broader platform
- Wear prototypes several hours a week to participate in data collection, on-body testing and provide feedback
- Bring joy to the team, participate in embarrassing team events, tolerate KZ’s terrible music
