Mechatronics Engineer

Job description

About CircuitHub CircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with The Grid, a factory-scale robotics platform that makes small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production: a 10x throughput improvement in one of the world's most foundational industries. We've raised $45M from top-tier investors including Plural, Y Combinator and Google Ventures, and we're already profitable. Our customers include a major EV maker, a top AI lab and many of the worlds largest companies. The Grid isn't a prototype. It's live, scaling fast and delivering real revenue, and we're building the team that will scale it further. The role Mechatronics Engineers at CircuitHub own projects end to end. You'll start with a problem, often on our factory floor, and take it all the way to a working machine: Understand the problem and turn it into a clear specification Generate ideas and choose the right mechanism Design it in CAD and prove it out with the engineering calculations Prototype and build it, machining parts in our in-house CNC shop Bring it to life with software on our in-house robotics operating system We work AI-first. AI tools help you scope the problem, drive your CAD, run the calculations and write the machine software. The software side needs basic software engineering skills, not a software background: you'll write it with AI agents, supported by a dedicated software engineering team who build the operating system. You must have built things before, ideally robots, whether as a hobbyist, student, employee or founder. We don't hire narrow specialists. We want engineers who can: Diagnose system-wide failures from first principles Prototype mechanical and software fixes on the fly Work autonomously and communicate clearly with a team spread across sites Take responsibility for how their machines perform in live production Things you'll do This is a design role with hands-on prototyping. For example: Conceive new mechanisms to handle electronics parts and other robotic handling tasks, using AI to scope and specify the problem Design gantries and end effectors in Fusion 360 Use AI agents to run the engineering calculations, and know when to distrust them Machine prototype parts in our in-house CNC shop Analyse end-effector behaviour from video and revi…
