OpenAI's Robotics team is hiring mid-level Manufacturing Engineers in San Francisco to develop processes, tooling, and prototype builds for custom motors and actuators. Each hire owns one specialty: stator process (stacking, winding, termination, potting), tooling and fixtures, or prototype actuator builds. Work runs from early development through validation and repeatable production, alongside mechanical, electrical, test, quality, and supplier teams. The posting wants hands-on experience developing processes, tooling, or electromechanical assemblies, plus measurement-driven troubleshooting. It lists hybrid work, though the text says in-person presence five days a week.
