Job Description

The Senior Mechanical Engineer, Plastics and Polymers role at DeepMind focuses on developing durable surfaces for robotic payloads and end-effector modules. The engineer will work closely with structural, electrical, and robotics engineers to create surfaces that can withstand rigorous mechanical loads. This position requires hands-on experience with material properties, design, and manufacturing processes. The role emphasizes collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to ensure scalable designs and effective validation testing.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience creating both rigid and compliant plastics and polymer based parts.
• Experience in manufacturing processes, including single/multi-shot injection molding, overmolding, insert molding, resin selection, and tooling design constraints.
• Experience analyzing and solving wear, fatigue, and degradation tests across joints or high-cycle mechanical interfaces.
• Experience with polymer fabrication techniques such as 3D printing and silicone casting.
  
  

Responsibilities

• Work with sensing engineers to embed conformal, flexible sensing modalities within plastic and polymer based matrices.
• Evaluate and select engineering plastics, elastomers, and advanced polymers based on mechanical properties.
• Design and prototype complex plastic enclosures and compliant polymer surfaces for robotic accessories.
• Partner with toolmakers and suppliers to manage tool design reviews and moldflow analysis.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability/Assembly principles to ensure yield and scalable production.
  
  

Benefits

• Employees at Google are often offered benefits like comprehensive health insurance, 401(k) matching, and flexible work arrangements, among other benefits.
