About the Role

Our client, a prominent Berkeley-based startup that recently completed its seed funding, is seeking a Senior Electromechanical Engineer & Program Manager to join their core engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to lead the design, fabrication, and deployment of large-scale robotic systems operating in demanding real-world environments.

You will take ownership of projects from concept through field deployment, balancing hands‑on engineering with program-level oversight. The role is ideal for someone who enjoys deep technical problem‑solving, while coordinating multidisciplinary teams to deliver field‑ready, high‑performance electromechanical systems.

Key Responsibilities

Lead all aspects of electromechanical design, analysis, controls integration, and component/supplier selection.

Drive design reviews, prototyping, testing, and initial production of robotic systems.

Mentor and manage junior engineers, setting high standards for technical rigor and execution speed.

Collaborate across electrical, controls, and field teams to deliver integrated solutions.

Conduct failure analysis, testing, and iterative improvements based on real-world data.

Preferred Experience

5–10 years in mechanical, electrical, or robotics engineering, preferably in machinery, heavy equipment, or robotics.

Experience taking engineered equipment from concept to commercialization.

Hands‑on prototyping and fabrication skills, with strong mechanical intuition.

Knowledge of electromechanical controls, hydraulics, high‑voltage AC power conversion, and lithium batteries.

Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and familiarity with C++/Python for controls or simulation.

Proven ability to lead multiple concurrent projects in a fast‑paced startup environment.

Why This Opportunity

Join a Berkeley-based startup at an exciting stage post‑seed funding. This role offers competitive pay, a flexible equity component, and the chance to make a real impact by building complex electromechanical systems from the ground up.
