Senior Mechanical Engineer (Wearable Devices)

h3About mimic /h3 pmimic robotics is a frontier physical AI company building the full stack of general-purpose dexterous manipulation. Founded in 2024 by ETH Zurich researchers, mimic pioneered Video-Action Models for robotics while also developing in-house dexterous hand hardware. Our growing team brings together world-class researchers working across our offices in Zurich and San Francisco. /p h3The Role /h3 pWe're looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to work on the mechanical and human-centered design of our U-Mimic wearable data collection device used by factory workers to collect high-quality hand-motion and force data. You'll own key mechanical and ergonomic decisions balancing device accuracy with comfort, robustness, and real-world usability while taking the wearable from early prototypes toward a scalable product. /p h3Responsibilities /h3 ul liOwn the wearable's mechanical architecture, including kinematics, fit, ergonomics, and usability. /li liBalance device accuracy, component packaging, robustness, and wearer comfort. /li liWork closely with electrical and firmware engineers to integrate sensors, flexible PCBs, cabling, and embedded components. /li liBuild, test, and iterate rapidly based on hands-on testing and user feedback. /li liSet the mechanical design direction as the wearable moves into scaled production. /li liWork with external suppliers and manufacturing partners where needed. /li /ul h3Requirements /h3 ul liStrong mechanical engineering background with experience developing products that interact closely with the human body. /li liExperience in wearables, prosthetics, orthotics, exoskeletons, haptics, medical devices, or a related field. /li liStrong understanding of ergonomics, variable body geometry, comfort, and usability. /li liExperience integrating sensors or electronics into mechanical systems. /li liStrong CAD and prototyping skills with experience in iterative hardware development. /li liAbility to independently solve open-ended engineering problems and make architectural decisions. /li /ul h3Nice to Have /h3 ul liExperience with flexible electronics, soft goods, silicones, or other human-contact materials. /li liExperience taking hardware from prototype toward production including certification. /li liExperience with tactile sensing, hand tracking, or force sensing. /li liExperience working with external manufacturers or suppliers. /li /ul #J-18808-Ljbffr
