About the Company

Nirvana Robotics builds humanoid robots with robotic arms that work in industrial environments. Their hardware team in NYC is growing, and each of these roles owns a subsystem end to end on physical robots.

I'm a recruiter at Niuro, Nirvana's hiring partner for these roles; the links below go to our application form and I read every application myself.

Open Roles

Mechanical Engineer

Compensation: $230K–$260K

Mechanical design of robotic arms and manipulators: joints, actuators, transmissions, end effectors
Optimize for torque density, backdrivability and stiffness
Prototype with additive and precision machining, and take assemblies to production
GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, SolidWorks (or Creo/NX/Onshape)

Hands-on work on real robot hardware (arms, grippers, mobile manipulators, actuated joints or humanoids)

Mechanical and Electrical:

5+ years with a bachelor's or 3+ with a master's

Controls:

Roughly BS + 4 years, MS + 2 or a PhD
