R2288**About Boston Dynamics:**Boston Dynamics is a global leader in robotics innovation, renowned for developing highly advanced, dynamic robots that excel in mobility, dexterity, and intelligence. Our cutting-edge robots, including the iconic Atlas, Spot, and Stretch, are pushing the boundaries of automation and redefining how machines interact with the world. At Boston Dynamics, we blend advanced mechanical design, state-of-the-art control systems, and AI-driven perception to create robots capable of performing in unstructured, real-world environments.We are looking for a talented Senior Staff Quality Manufacturing Engineer to support the Atlas program, helping to transform groundbreaking research prototypes into reliable, scalable systems for manufacturing and field deployment.**About the Role:**As a Senior Staff Manufacturing Quality Engineer for the Atlas program, you will lead the development of the quality systems, inspection frameworks, and measurement standards required to support R&D and low-volume production. You will build the foundational quality infrastructure and operational processes, define metrology requirements, and partner with Hardware Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Supply Chain to ensure consistent, high-quality builds of complex electromechanical assemblies.This role requires strong technical depth in quality engineering, process validation, precision measurement, documentation, and hands-on support of prototype builds.****Responsibilities:***** Lead the development of quality systems for Prototype operations, including nonconformance management, traceability, documentation standards, and in-process quality gates.* Define metrology practices and measurement requirements based on ASME standards, tailored for complex, precision components used in R&D and low-volume builds.* Conduct capability studies, gauge R&R, and measurement system evaluations to establish long-term quality infrastructure. Support selection, calibration, and validation of inspection equipment and metrology tools.* Write inspection protocols, acceptance criteria, control plans, and verification methods for critical mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical components.* Partner with Hardware Engineering to identify CTQs, refine tolerances, and integrate manufacturability and quality considerations into evolving designs.* Work with Manufacturing Engineering to implement process controls, error proofing, and quality checkpoints throughout the assembly workflow.* Support prototype builds hands-on, diagnosing assembly issues via root causing methodologies, verifying quality criteria, and implement corrective actions for internal and supplier quality issues.* Define quality metrics for low-volume production, including defect trends, supplier performance, dimensional conformance, and first-pass yield.* Contribute to training materials, visual standards, SOPs, and quality documentation for assembly and inspection teams.* Collaborate with Hyundai Motor Group teams as needed, leveraging their expertise in high-precision, high-volume quality systems.****Qualifications:***** Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree a plus.* 6+ years of experience in manufacturing quality engineering, process validation, metrology, or advanced manufacturing of electromechanical systems.* Strong capability with ASME GD&T, dimensional inspection, and measurement methods.* Experience developing or implementing quality systems in prototype, R&D, or low-volume production environments.* Demonstrated ability to write detailed, accurate inspection instructions, quality procedures, and verification documents.* Hands-on experience with metrology tools, inspection equipment, incoming material verification, or measurement system development.* Strong experience with root cause analysis, corrective actions, PFMEA, control plans, and structured problem-solving.* Familiarity with torque control, precision fits, alignment features, shimming, and other high-accuracy assembly concepts.* Ability to collaborate across design, manufacturing, and supply chain to resolve quality issues and improve build consistency.* Strong communication skills with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly across teams.* Comfortable supporting on-the-floor prototype builds and providing real-time quality guidance.* Experience with CAD for drawing review, tolerancing understanding, and fixture/tooling discussions.development.****Preferred Qualifications***** Experience in robotics, aerospace, precision actuators, or high-performance electromechanical systems.* Familiarity with motion systems, motors, sensors, or high-accuracy assemblies.* Experience with PLM systems such as Arena or Enovia for revision control and documentation management.* Experience with MES platforms such as Tulip for quality or traceability workflows.* Experience working with external suppliers, contract manufacturers, or design firms on tooling and quality requirements.* Background supporting research-to-product transitions where designs and processes evolve rapidly.The base pay range for this position is between $101,545.00 to $139,625.00 annually. Base pay will depend on multiple individualized factors including, but not limited to internal equity, job related knowledge, skills and experience.
This range represents a good faith estimate of compensation at the time of posting. Boston Dynamics offers a generous Benefits package including medical, dental vision, 401(k), paid time off and a annual bonus structure.
Additional details regarding these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer for employment. #J-18808-Ljbffr
