8 hours ago

Hyderabad, Telangana, India 9ACTS Full time ₹ 9,00,000 - ₹ 12,00,000 per year

About Us

We are building intelligent, lightweight, and affordable autonomous robots for Indian farms, starting with weed-removal and orchard-maintenance robots. Our vision is to bring reliable automation to small and mid-sized farms through innovation in robotics, AI, and design simplicity.

Role Overview

We're looking for a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to design, prototype, and optimize the mechanical systems of our farm robots. You will work closely with embedded, AI, and control engineers to develop robust, field-ready mechanical designs that can withstand the harsh Indian agricultural environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and prototype mechanical systems, chassis, suspension, and mounting assemblies for small autonomous robots.
  • Work on mechanical CAD modeling (SolidWorks/Fusion 360/Onshape) for components and assemblies.
  • Develop and test drive systems, linkages, and cutting or weeding mechanisms.
  • Perform structural and thermal analysis using simulation tools (FEA, CFD).
  • Select suitable motors, actuators, gearboxes, and wheels for mobility and payload requirements.
  • Collaborate with electronics and AI teams for sensor placement, enclosures, and integration.
  • Source and manage fabrication from vendors or local workshops (metal, plastic, 3D printing, CNC).
  • Conduct field testing, iterate designs, and ensure reliability in muddy, wet, and uneven terrain.
  • Document mechanical design standards and build processes for future scaling.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering or related field.
  • 2–5 years of experience in robotics, automotive, or industrial equipment design.
  • Strong proficiency in CAD modeling (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar).
  • Knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and DFM principles.
  • Familiarity with actuators, drive trains, and motion systems.
  • Ability to work with embedded/electrical engineers for system integration.
  • Willingness to travel and test prototypes in actual farm conditions.
  • Passion for building tangible, functional products.

Good to Have

  • Experience with autonomous or mobile robots.
  • Familiarity with ROS-based platforms and sensor integration.
  • Exposure to agriculture machinery or terrain vehicles.
  • Skills in 3D printing, CNC, and rapid prototyping.
  • Hands-on workshop experience.

Why Join Us

  • Be part of the core founding team building India's first reliable farm robotics brand.
  • Work on real-world engineering problems that improve farmers' lives.
  • Freedom to experiment, iterate, and innovate.
  • Competitive compensation with ESOPs for early employees.
