🥋 Mechanical Design Engineer — Exterior & Form
At Proception, we are engineering the next generation of highly dexterous humanoid manipulators. Our mission is to bring machines closer to human capability by merging innovative mechanical design, sensor integration, and intelligent control. We're looking for a full-time Mechanical Design Engineer to work on structural and actuation design for our humanoid upper body and hand systems—one who also has the eye and surfacing skills to own the exterior when design cycles call for it.
Day to day, this is a core mechanical engineering role: mechanisms, prototyping, testing, iteration. Seasonally, you'll lead exterior and form work—covers, housings, and cosmetic surfaces—on top of the structures the team has built.
