About this role

Company Overview

Each year, 2.5 trillion hours are spent on household chores. At Matic, we’re on a mission to recapture that lost time, and we’re doing it by revolutionizing home robotics.

Our first product, also called Matic, is a Wall-E-esque floor cleaning robot. We've built what amounts to "full self-driving in the home” with real-time 3D mapping, adaptive path-tracking, and a precise semantic understanding of the home. Our breakthroughs in spatial AI allow Matic to work reliably in real homes, using only RGB cameras and neural networks running on-device.

Privacy First

What happens in the home, stays in the home. Our robots are private by design, with all data processing performed by the robot itself, not in the cloud.

Our Approach

Before the iPhone, consumers adopted several distinct devices; cell phones, PDAs, and portable music players each served a particular need. We believe in a similar progression for home robotics, starting with single-purpose robots and building iteratively toward more complex capabilities over time.

Our Culture

Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We're ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems that save precious time and energy.

About the role

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll lead the design of critical subassemblies of our products and work closely with team members from our hardware, software, and product teams to help us realize our vision of full home autonomy.

If you’re passionate about great design and obsessed with getting the details right, we’d love to talk to you about how you can work with us to pioneer innovations in the home robotics space.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end design and manufacturing of critical parts and sub-assemblies

  • Fabricate prototypes, iterate rapidly, advance your concepts through to high volume production

  • Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime

  • Component level testing for performance, durability, reliability, and variability

  • Complete and release component designs and documentation, including 2D drawings

  • Work cross-functionally with hardware, software, supply chain, and product teams to build a cohesive and balanced product

  • Establish relationships with vendors, suppliers, and CMs in a startup environment

What we look for

  • Technical degree in mechanical engineering or related field

  • 5+ years of professional mechanical design engineering experience on a product (preferably B to C) that is shipping in high volume

  • Proven track record of executing complex mechanical design problems and successfully building physical prototypes

  • Experience working on products that have shipped

  • Strong understanding of materials and high-volume manufacturing methods, particularly Injection Molding

  • Proficiency in using Solidworks.

  • Comfort with PDM, PLM and Engineering Change Management and Quality Management systems

  • Knowledge of GD&T, finite element analysis and design for reliability concepts

  • Experience in NVH, motors, or turbo motors is a plus

  • Comfort with fast-paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work

  • High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We'd love to hear from you if...

  • You are genuinely motivated to help those around you

  • You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones

  • You love diagnosing complex technical issues

  • You are excited to do great work
