About this Role
We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer with 2-5 years of experience to own mechanical subsystems from concept through working prototype on autonomous robotic systems deployed in real data centre environments. You'll join a tight-knit, in-house hardware team at Droyd, where iteration, fabrication, and execution all happen under one roof. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of CAD and the shop floor, designing, building, breaking, and iterating on real hardware that makes robots stop being demos and start being infrastructure. If you have a strong portfolio of complete systems taken from concept to physical prototype and love moving fast on hard problems, this is your opportunity.
What will you be doing?
Own mechanical subsystem design from first sketch through prototype and iteration, making decisions on materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods
Design parts and assemblies in CAD, supported by hand calculations and FEA, optimized for rapid prototyping methods including 3D printing and CNC machining
Build prototypes yourself using 3D printers, shop tools, and CNC equipment, turning designs into physical hardware quickly
Integrate mechanical designs with motors, sensors, electronics, and actuators on robotic arms and mobile bases
Collaborate closely with electrical, software, and robotics teams to bring complete autonomous systems together for production deployment
