Structures EngineerYou will design the structural skeleton of the hand system — the palms, fingers, linkages, and housings that must survive real-world abuse while holding the precision that fine manipulation demands.What You'll DoDesign the structural architecture of the hand — palm, fingers, linkages, and pivotsOwn design-for-manufacturing of structural parts, including die-cast and injection-molded components, from prototype through productionIntegrate thermal paths with the actuation system so dense actuator packages stay within limitsEngineer for robustness: the hand must tolerate impacts, drops, and sustained real-world abuseHold the precision required for fine motor control and repeatable graspingDesign lightweight, body-safe structures for wearable devicesWhat You BringExperience with die-cast and injection-mold part design, including DFM for volume productionThermal design experience, especially integrating heat paths with actuators in dense packagesStrong background in linkage, pivot, and small-mechanism designProven ability to design robust systems that tolerate impact and sustained abuseAbility to design for precision where it matters, enabling fine motor control and reliable graspingNice to HaveExperience with wearable or body-worn product structuresFamiliarity with GD&T and tolerance-stack analysis for small mechanisms
