OpenAI's Robotics team is hiring a Senior Actuator Design and Integration Engineer in San Francisco, with in-person presence four days a week. The person leads custom electromechanical actuator development — motors, transmissions, sensing, thermal and structural packaging — from early architecture through prototype validation and integration with controls, firmware and manufacturing teams, and sets up test, characterization and reliability practices. The posting asks for a mechanical, robotics or mechatronics degree, 7+ years designing electromechanical systems, CAD/PLM experience, and design-for-manufacture and failure-analysis background.
