Senior Design Engineer - Actuators

At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design.

We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.

What to Expect

As a Design Engineer, you will own the mechanical design of the actuators that move our robots — motors, gear trains, and housings — from concept through prototype through production. Actuators are the dense, highly-loaded subsystems where electromagnetics, structural mechanics, tribology, and thermal management all converge inside a few cubic centimeters. Every gram, every micron of tolerance, and every interface decision compounds across dozens of joints.
