# Mechatronics Engineer - Company: [Innate]() - Location: Bay Area - Team: Technical Staff - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: March 24, 2026 ## Job description **Who we are** Before the PC, there used to be a time where computing was locked inside big corporations. But thanks to hackers of Silicon Valley, everyone now has a computer and can develop for it. The same should happen for robotics. We're building a platform that makes it accessible: the PC of robotics. An intuitive, open, affordable general-purpose robot for everyone. If you're going to work on something crazy hard, it might as well matter. We're a small team that cares: about the problem, about the people using our robots, and about building a product that will still mean something years from now. We are our own users. **What we're looking for** A generalist mechatronics engineer who has built and shipped before and feels confident working on a mass consumer product. This role covers a lot of ground. On any given day you might be laying out a PCB, designing a mechanical part, and writing firmware. If your ideal job is owning one narrow thing and perfecting it over years, we're probably not a fit. If that description sounds limiting to you, keep reading. The core stuff that actually excites us: * **PCB design,** high-speed digital and power electronics * **CAD & rapid prototyping.** * **Firmware:** embedded C, microcontrollers * **Software:** You can code and debug in C / Python Things that we prefer to see: * Experience with manufacturing processes — CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding * You've touched RF or high-speed signal integrity work * You've ordered parts, managed a BOM, navigated a supply chain * FPGAs are a real bonus DO NOT censure yourself if you don't meet all of these requirements, we look for fast-learners more than anything else. **The kind of person you are** •⁠ ⁠You are energized by hard problems, not intimidated by them •⁠ ⁠You are driven to build things for the real world •⁠ ⁠Who you're building with with matters as much as what you're building •⁠ ⁠You value dynamism, new problems every week **What you'll work on** Designing and building the physical systems that make our robots work — electronics, mechanics, firmware, and everything in between. Think about and design the product, with the rest of the team, and stay close to customers' needs. ## Apply [Apply on Innate]() Canonical job page:
