What You’ll Do:
- Design, prototype, and iterate on the electromechanical systems that power Eyebot's kiosk, including actuation, motion control, and sensor integration.
- Own the integration of depth cameras, image sensors, and optical components into the kiosk hardware stack, ensuring precision alignment and repeatable performance.
- Build and validate test rigs and physical experimental setups to characterize system behavior across real-world operating conditions.
- Develop and maintain calibration procedures for sensors and electromechanical assemblies to ensure measurement accuracy across kiosk units.
- Collaborate with software and R&D engineers to define hardware interfaces, sensor data pipelines, and embedded system requirements.
- Support the transition from prototype to production-ready designs, including DFM review, tolerance analysis, and vendor coordination.
- Document design decisions, test results, and assembly procedures with the rigor required for a regulated medical device environment.
- Identify failure modes and drive root-cause investigations across mechanical, electrical, and sensor subsystems.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 5 years of post-bachelor's experience in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline.
- Demonstrated experience integrating sensors, actuators, and embedded control systems into physical products.
- Hands-on proficiency with fabrication and prototyping tools including 3D printers, laser cutters, and machine shop equipment.
- Experience with camera systems, image sensors, or optical hardware integration.
- Familiarity with embedded Linux platforms (Jetson, Raspberry Pi, or similar) for hardware bring-up and testing.
- Comfort working across mechanical CAD (Onshape, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) and basic electrical schematics.
- Familiarity with medical device development and compliance.
- Background in precision mechanisms, optical alignment, or instrumentation.
- Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, and DFM practices.
- Exposure to face tracking systems, depth sensing technologies, or structured light systems.
- You are energized by fast-paced environments and excited to grow with a startup that is scaling quickly.
- You take ownership of your work and care deeply about quality.
- You hold yourself and your teammates to a high bar.
- You follow through on commitments and take responsibility for outcomes.
