We’re a fast-moving embodied intelligence company building next-generation systems where power density, thermal efficiency, and mechanical integration are critical. Our work combines high-performance motors, custom motor controllers, and tightly integrated designs — pushing the limits of what’s possible in constrained form factors. We are seeking a hands-on Thermo-Mechanical Engineer to own the complete thermal strategy across our motors, motor controllers, and actuator assemblies. You will play a key role in ensuring our systems can operate reliably and at peak performance within aggressive space and weight constraints. You will:

  • Develop thermal models (both analytical and simulation-based) of motors, controllers, and integrated assemblies.
  • Design and execute experiments to validate and refine thermal models with real-world data.
  • Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems teams to architect thermal management solutions (air-cooled, liquid-cooled, or hybrid).
  • Evaluate and design packaging solutions to balance thermal dissipation, manufacturability, and structural integrity.
  • Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) for thermal components and assemblies.
  • Lead thermal risk assessments and contribute thermal insights across the full product development cycle — from concept to production.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years experience in thermal analysis, thermal design, and mechanical integration for high-power or high-density systems (robotics, aerospace, EVs, or similar industries).
  • Strong foundation in fluid dynamics and heat transfer fundamentals, with practical experience in CFD and thermal FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL, FloTHERM, STAR-CCM+).
  • Experience designing experiments to validate thermal performance (temperature mapping, thermocouple placement, IR imaging, etc.).
  • Familiarity with thermal interface materials, heatsink design, and packaging considerations in space-constrained environments.
  • Hands-on prototyping and testing experience.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
  • Experience with motor cooling strategies (e.g., rotor cooling, stator slot cooling, direct liquid cooling).
  • Experience in high-performance robotics, drone, aerospace, or EV motor systems.
  • Familiarity with electrical and electronic component thermal management (e.g., FETs, PCBs).
  • Prior experience in scaling designs for low-volume manufacturing.
