OpenAI's Robotics team is hiring a mechanical design engineer to own stator and rotor mechanical design for advanced robotic motors, from early concepts through released CAD and drawings, hands-on builds, and prototype validation. The work covers laminations, stack assemblies, bobbins, winding interfaces, and fixtures, plus setting up low-volume prototype production with work instructions and acceptance checks. The posting asks for CAD, tolerance analysis, fixture design, and metrology, and prefers experience with motors, actuators, or precision electromechanical assemblies. It is based in San Francisco with in-person presence four days a week.
