Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Robotic Controls Engineer

Nirvana Robotics builds humanoid robots with robotic arms that work in industrial environments. Their hardware team in NYC is growing, and each of these roles owns a subsystem end to end on physical robots. I'm a recruiter at Niuro, Nirvana's hiring partner for these roles; the links below go to our application form and I read every application myself.

Mechanical Engineer ($230K-$260K): mechanical design of robotic arms and manipulators: joints, actuators, transmissions, end effectors. You optimize for torque density, backdrivability and stiffness, prototype with additive and precision machining, and take assemblies to production. GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, SolidWorks (or Creo/NX/Onshape). Apply: https://app.niuro.io/source/H4yYHesP?ref=ps_EBRp88zU7jcdRZm8...

Electrical Engineer ($220K-$250K): electrical architecture for arms and humanoids: power distribution, motor-driver boards, sensor PCBs, harnessing. Multilayer mixed-signal and high-current layout in Altium, BLDC drivers and current sensing, bench bring-up and DFM with PCBA partners. EtherCAT, CAN or BMS is a plus. Apply: https://app.niuro.io/source/BeVx3CrN?ref=ps_5biniQ0FTotNxfmT...

Robotic Controls Engineer ($270K-$300K): low-level control for multi-DOF arms: joint-level actuation, impedance/admittance and whole-body control, sim-to-real. PID/LQR/state-space, MoveIt or cuRobo, C++ and Python, ROS 2. Apply: https://app.niuro.io/source/gUNqx8Lj?ref=ps_BdIAhZPrP7yQt2P4...

For all three: hands-on work on real robot hardware (arms, grippers, mobile manipulators, actuated joints or humanoids). Mechanical and Electrical: 5+ years with a bachelor's or 3+ with a master's. Controls: roughly BS + 4 years, MS + 2 or a PhD. US-based; relocation to NYC within the US is supported. Visa sponsorship is not available.
