Head of Robot Body Design & Manufacturing
A Physical AI Company
Responsibilities
- Lead the overall structural design and productization of robot bodies and dexterous hands, including mechanical structure design, drive solution selection, module layout, and system integration.
- Participate in the complete product lifecycle from concept design, prototype validation, and small-batch trial production to mass production introduction.
- Develop technical solutions for body structures and actuators, including joint module design, transmission structure design (harmonic / planetary / direct-drive, etc.), torque density optimization, and thermal management.
- Liaise with OEM partners to deliver structural design documents, process requirements, and quality standards; oversee prototyping, trial production, and issue resolution.
- Drive the transition of robot body development from 'design-led + OEM manufacturing' to 'core component self-research + autonomous manufacturing'.
- Contribute to the structural design and optimization of dexterous hands, including finger mechanism design, drive arrangement, transmission selection, and assembly reliability.
- Conduct key structural strength and stiffness analysis, reliability verification, and life-cycle assessment to optimize the balance between weight, cost, and performance.
- Collaborate with control, electrical, and algorithm teams for full-machine debugging, resolving engineering issues such as structural vibration, backlash, precision drift, and assembly errors.
- Establish robot body design specifications, BOM management processes, version control systems, and mass production quality standards.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or above in Mechanical Design, Mechanical Engineering, Automation, Robotics Engineering, or a related field.
- 3-8 years of experience in product design for robots, automation equipment, or precision machinery.
- Solid understanding of robot body structural design principles, including joint modules, transmission structures, and whole-machine stiffness logic.
- Proficient in at least one mainstream mechanical design software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA).
- - Experience in complete product development cycles, with prior involvement in projects from prototype to mass production preferred.
- - Familiarity with manufacturing processes and workflows (CNC, injection molding, die casting, sheet metal, assembly, etc.).
- - Proven ability to collaborate with contract manufacturers, independently driving prototype issue resolution and structural optimization.
- - Strong systems engineering mindset and cross-functional collaboration skills.
