Mechanical Engineer, Electrical

Engineer, Robotic Controls Engineer| New York, NY | ONSITE | Full-time | $220K-$300K

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).

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.

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.

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.
