Employment Type:

Full-Time

Experience Level:

Mid-level (2-6 years preferred)

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on

Robotics Engineer

with a strong background in

mechatronics, mechanical design, and hardware development

to join our growing team. You will play a key role in designing, building, and validating

robotic structures, rigs, and data-collection setups

used for advanced AI and robotics research.

This is a highly practical, engineering-heavy role suited for someone who enjoys both

designing in CAD

and

building/testing hardware in real life

. You will work closely with robot operators, software engineers, and researchers to bring new robotic data-collection workflows to life.

Key ResponsibilitiesMechanical & Mechatronics Design

Design robotic fixtures, jigs, test rigs, and mechanical systems using professional CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar). Develop electromechanical assemblies, linkages, enclosures, mounts, and robot-compatible structures. Perform design-for-manufacturing (DFM), tolerance analysis, and material selection for prototypes and production.

Hardware Fabrication & Integration

Build and assemble robotic structures: machining, fabrication, laser cutting, 3D printing, wiring, and basic electronics. Integrate motors, sensors, controllers, cameras, and other hardware into custom setups. Work with external vendors or workshops for fabrication, machining, or manufacturing requests.

Robot Data Collection Setup Development

Design and build setups for robot data collection, teleoperation, and testing. Test, validate, and troubleshoot mechanical and electromechanical systems. Improve the reliability, safety, and usability of all setups.

Technical Training & Documentation

Train robot operators on how to use the designed setups safely and effectively. Create clear documentation, assembly guides, wiring diagrams, and SOPs.

Software & Robotics (Bonus Skills)

Experience with ROS/ROS2, Linux, Python, or C++ is a strong advantage. Ability to integrate hardware with basic control code or scripts. Understanding of robotic perception, control, or teleoperation is beneficial.

Requirements

Degree or diploma in

Mechatronics

,

Mechanical Engineering

,

Robotics

, or a related discipline. Strong skills in

3D CAD design

and mechanical drafting. Practical hands-on experience with

building mechanical systems

(assembly, fabrication, testing). Knowledge of motors, sensors, actuators, and electromechanical systems. Ability to troubleshoot mechanical and hardware issues systematically. Comfortable working in workshop/lab environments

Preferred Experiences

Experience with

ROS / ROS2

, Linux-based systems, or hardware-control programming Experience with manufacturing processes (3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding) Experience in robotics testing, teleoperation, or data collection workflows Ability to work independently in a fast-paced R&D environment

Why Join Cortex

Work directly on the frontier of physical AI -- where human action and robotic intelligence converge Your contribution will help train world and robotics foundation models used by leading labs and companies Collaborate with a high-energy and passionate engineers and roboticists Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art teleoperation rigs, VR capture systems and multi-sensor robots
