We’re hiring a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to help build the next generation of humanoid robots.

At Mentee Robotics, we’re redefining humanoid automation with an AI-first approach - combining perception, reasoning, and dexterous manipulation into fully autonomous systems that continuously learn and adapt.

Our flagship platform, Menteebot v3 , is already pushing the boundaries of what robots can do across industrial, logistics, and retail environments.

This role sits at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and advanced mechanical systems

• where hardware is evolving as fast as the intelligence driving it.

What you’ll do:

• Design and develop complex precision mechanisms and actuation systems
• Own mechanical design from concept through production (CAD → DFM → suppliers)
• Work closely with cross-functional teams (controls, electrical, AI)
• Contribute to building not just the robot -but also the tools and infrastructure around it
• Drive designs optimized for performance, reliability, weight, and manufacturability

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design
• Expert-level SolidWorks skills
• Strong background in:
• Precision mechanisms
• Robotics or moving systems
• Metal machining design
• Design for manufacturing, assembly, and reliability
• Experience working with suppliers and production processes

Bonus:

• Injection molding
• Design for wiring / compact systems
• Multidisciplinary work with electrical teams
• Optimization and performance-driven design

Who you are;

• A first-principles thinker who questions assumptions and iterates fast
• Highly self-driven , yet thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving team
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing requirements
• Strong sense of ownership and engineering intuition
• Natural leadership potential, with ability to mentor others

Why this role?

You’ll be working on one of the most ambitious problems in robotics -

building humanoid systems that operate in the real world with human-like adaptability.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role in a fast-paced startup where mechanical design directly shapes the capabilities of the system.
