Cosmic Robotics
Senior Mechanical Engineer
at
Cosmic Robotics
– San Francisco, CA (full time, in-person).
Company Overview Our mission is to accelerate the construction of critical infrastructure on Earth while pioneering technologies to enable humanity to build beyond Earth. Starting with Cosmic-1 – a system that installs solar panels 10x faster than today’s methods, helping us transition to a clean energy future and laying the groundwork for the future of autonomous construction.
The Role As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will own a critical Cosmic-1 subsystem and lead development from concept to deployment. As a core member of the team, you will help define the era of autonomous construction.
What’s in it for you
Work on hard, meaningful problems that impact the future of infrastructure and energy.
Collaborate with a world‑class team from NASA, SpaceX, Google, Built Robotics, and others.
Rapidly grow, learn, and lead within a quickly scaling company.
Responsibilities
Own hardware components and systems such as primary and secondary structures, mechanisms, and enclosures.
Full product lifecycle ownership from requirements collection, trade studies, preliminary and detailed design, structural analysis, and overseeing manufacturing, integration, testing, and customer delivery.
Work with manufacturing, electrical, software, and product engineers to develop innovative new solutions to complex interdisciplinary problems.
Work with vendors and suppliers to find creative solutions to tight deadlines.
Set milestones, plan roadmaps, and deliver on ambitious timelines.
Recruit, mentor, and build a world‑class engineering organization.
Requirements
3+ years of professional engineering experience.
Excellent first‑principles understanding of statics, dynamics, heat transfer, materials, and corrosion.
Expert mechanical design skills using CAD software such as SolidWorks, NX, PTC Creo, etc. and FEA analysis with ANSYS.
Strong understanding of designing for manufacturing processes such as CNC milling/lathing, sheet metal bending, welding, and 3D printing.
Excellent communication and project management skills.
Thrives in fast‑paced environments and pushes boundaries to meet deadlines.
Bonus
5+ years of professional engineering experience in mechanical design.
Experience designing or developing high volume large form factor products like automobiles and construction equipment.
Experience in mechanical design of ultrahigh reliability products like spacecraft and medical devices.
Management and recruiting experience.
