Gatik
Senior Mechanical Engineer – Gatik
We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle‑mile logistics. About Gatik
Gatik is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with autonomous transportation‑as‑a‑service (ATaaS) solutions, focusing on short‑haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers. We deployed the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart in 2021, and our Level‑4 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets. About The Role
As a Senior or Staff Mechanical Engineer in our Hardware Integration team you will be responsible for engineering support structures for the sensor stack, aesthetic covers, and establishing the processes needed to do this at a low and medium volume production scale today and prepare for high volume production in the future. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team delivering high‑quality vehicle builds following best engineering practices & standards. Your area of expertise is design of mechanical structural assemblies & integration of electronic components, preferably in the automotive industry. You are excited about generating new design ideas in CAD and are comfortable with hand‑tools and rapid prototyping fabrication to test out your design. This role requires working onsite 5 days a week from our Mountain View headquarters. What you’ll do
Lead the engineering efforts for the mechanical design & analysis from ideation to drawing release Take ownership of subsystems or complex component assemblies on and off the vehicles Perform FE analyses on your design to validate it against the use case (static, natural frequency, etc.) Champion the DFM, DFA & DFS efforts during the design cycle Closely collaborate with validation team in creation & execution of the test plan Perform detailed calculations of selected components eg. bolted / welded / bonded joints, seals, etc. Perform tolerance stack‑up analysis for your design and use appropriate GD&T strategy Work on cooling solutions for sensors & other electronic components Own the BOM for your design & work cross‑functionally with procurement & manufacturing for downstream processes Build and bring‑up prototype vehicles following best engineering practices & standards Lead, mentor and grow the mechanical engineering discipline by creating standards & processes What we're looking for
5+ years of experience designing & analyzing complex mechanical structures and integration of hardware An engineering degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics or an equivalent field Delivered multiple parts, subsystem(s) or system(s) to production successfully Experience in automotive or transportation sector, dealing with larger assemblies and parts Excellent skills for 3D CAD design & 2D drafting per ASME Y14.5 (SolidWorks preferred) Experience in FE analysis (vibration experience bonus) Experience working in an engineering process environment eg. using PDM & PLM, creating ECOs, generating BOMs, CM etc. Expertise in creating Aluminum & steel designs, with a focus on sheet metal fabrication, welded design, extrusions & machined design Expertise in tolerance stacking, especially linear & simple 2D stacks Working knowledge of ISO 26262 & its relevance to integration of E&E components Expertise in component selection and specification (seals, fasteners, materials, coatings etc.) Hands‑on engineer that is able and willing to use hand tools including drills, brake presses, oscillating saws, grinders, rotary tools etc. if required Bonus
Experience in design of heat sinks, heat exchangers, thermal design & CFD Experience working with sensors like LiDARs, radars, cameras, GNSS etc. Experience working with sensor cleaning & sensor protection solutions Working knowledge of a scripting language like Python, Go, Perl, etc. Working knowledge of optics, have worked with cameras & LiDARs in the past Working knowledge of harness routing, have experience working with harness engineers Understanding of E&E basics like power draw, high data rate cables, connectors, etc. Equity and Benefits
We offer competitive compensation, equity, and benefits to support career growth and well‑being. Equal Opportunity Employer
We are committed to an inclusive and diverse team. We do not discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any legally protected status.
