Staff Gear Train Engineer - Atlas Actuation Technology
- Gear System Design: Design and develop gear systems across robot platforms, accounting for kinematics, operational load spectra, efficiency, packaging constraints, weight, manufacturability, and cost.
- Analysis & Optimization: Develop core drivetrain architectures from concept through detailed design, leveraging CAD and gear analysis software to integrate gears, splines, shafts, and bearings. Conduct system optimization by analyzing performance data against real-world duty cycles, tolerance loops, and environmental boundaries.
- Design for Manufacturing (DFx): Partner with internal and external manufacturing teams to translate design intent to production — supporting DFM, process and workholding feedback, and the manufacturability and assemblability of drivetrain elements from concept through mass production.
- Quality & Metrology: Interpret analytical gear inspection data, contribute to part disposition and inspection standards, and help resolve manufacturing deviations.
- Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Reason through abstract, novel constraints specific to the emerging humanoid robot industry, and contribute to knowledge sharing across the team.
- Gear Fundamentals: Working knowledge of gear theory, envelope theory, macro/micro geometry, LTCA, fatigue, backlash, and high-volume manufacturing methods and materials.
- Tools & Documentation: Proficiency in 3D CAD and 2D drawings (CATIA, NX, or Creo), GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and gear simulation tools such as MASTA, Transmission3D, Romax, or KISSsys.
- Gear Specialization: Proficiency in planetary and/or bevel gear design, analysis, and metrology, with familiarity across gear manufacturing and inspection methods (e.g., hobbing, grinding, shaping, skiving).
- Robotics Transmissions: Familiarity with alternative transmissions such as strain wave and cycloidal — and the trade space versus planetary — including compound and differential drivetrains.
- Collaborative Judgment: Sound technical judgment balancing innovation with practical manufacturing constraints, paired with clear communication across cross-functional teams and a learning mindset.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Professional experience in gear or drivetrain design and production (typically 5+ years, or an advanced degree with 3+ years).
- Occasional travel (up to 10%) may be required to support manufacturing and supplier partners.
