Robot Designer

NOTE: We are looking specifically for candidates who are artistically inclined. There is no minimum qualification, but you MUST have the ability to CAD and then realise your designs via 3D printing techniques. Submitting a portfolio of relevant works or quick sketches of appropriate robots will gain you priority ranking over other candidates. If you consider yourself an artist first and mechanical/electronics/robot engineer second, this role will likely be a good fit for you. If your skillset is limited to CAD'ing components and parts, this role is wrong for you. Your ability to sketch/design robots WILL BE exhaustively assessed during the interview rounds.

About MyrLabs

MyrLabs is an A.STAR spin-off that creates cutting edge hardware and algorithms. The MyrLabs team consists of driven and multi-disciplinary engineers dedicated to bringing game-breaking solutions for our partners by innovating at the PCB, firmware, and software levels. We work on problems that academia fears to, cannot, or will not address. These are problems that are difficult and require multi-disciplinary efforts. Our approach focuses on the use of non-mainstream techniques to spark creativity and to solve problems in ways that are not seen before.

Job Brief

We are looking to hire Robot Design Engineers to join our Robotics Team. This is a position for a research-focused role towards designing, building, and prototyping ground wheeled robots. Our roadmap of planned robots includes small robots (200W x 150D x 200H mm) and large robots (1800W x 1200D x 1800H mm). These robots purpose is to showcase our work on cutting edge algorithmic capabilities for robots and new design paradigms for robots. Your work is to design and create robots from scratch, with an emphasis on beautiful yet functional robots.

This is a difficult job role that will require a mix of design, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering expertise. While we do not demand for you to possess the entire skillset, you must be willing to acquire the missing skillsets over the course of your employment and commit to becoming a multi-disciplinary engineering staff.

MyrLabs intends to create robots that defy existing design norms. We hire for people who are creative and have the persistence to create sophisticated robots.
